From the Collection of Mark Rogers.  Tray celebrating the San Francisco Exposition of 1915.  Great detail that you don't really notice without close inspection.  The tray also notes the recent opening of the Panama Canal, with some great ships underway.  Very easy to miss if you do not have the tray in your hand.  See image below.
