 Comments:

From the Collection of Mark Rogers.  Celebration piece, often confused for the Pre-prohibition originals.  There will be no doubt if you have it in your hands as the image is not as crisp and the tray is very light weight.  The easiest way to confirm if it is the celebration piece is there is no manufacturer mark at 6 o'clock on the tray.
