1933 CHICAGO WORLDS FAIR CENTURY OF PROGRESS FORD MOTOR CO. ROTUNDA SERVING TRAY

Description: 1933 CHICAGO WORLDS FAIR CENTURY OF PROGRESS FORD MOTOR CO. ROTUNDA SERVING TRAY This Ford Motor Co. serving tray was part of our huge Worlds Fair and Exposition Collection. We mostly collected 1933/34 and 1939/40 items but also have many pieces from much earlier to much later Fairs. We once offered the entire collection as a buy it now on eBay with no takers and have since been piecing it out. My husband, seller named Jal12147 and I will be listing pieces till it’s gone. This is a piece featuring the Ford Rotunda building. It was built at the fair for Ford Motor Company. After the fair, the unusual round building was moved to Dearborn, Michigan where it featured a Christmas Fantasy Extravaganza each year. Unfortunately, in 1962, as they were preparing the building for the event, a sealant in the roof was ignited by a propane heater and the building was a total loss. Ford decided it was too expensive to rebuild and the Ford Rotunda became a memory. This tray is 17-1/4” long x 12 1/4” high. The dark brown enamel finish is in excellent preowned condition. Unfortunately, because of the gloss, the rich color and designs don’t show up in the photos as beautiful as they are in person. If you like the pictures, you will love it in person! The back of the tray is a light brown color. The serving area is recessed about an inch. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like more pictures. We are always happy to combine shipping if you buy more than one item. I always ship with USPS Priority shipping. It’s just a little more than Ground Advantage, but it the safest, most secure and most trackable method of shipping. I receive a discount on shipping through eBay and always pass the savings on to my buyers. Thank you for looking!
