Chase chrome Art Deco #9001 Triple Tray
Who knew when I was cruising the inventory at Goodwill recently looking for an inexpensive fondue set that I would find this cool vintage Art Deco Chase Chrome Triple Tray, and in good condition.
Advertised on page 27 of the 1933 Chase Company catalogue which was reprinted and is found in the Schiffer book put out by Donald-Brian Johnson and Leslie Pina in 2001, this great and practical Deco tray had the following description in the original 1933 catalogue:
One that will hold a variety of cakes and sandwiches daintily. It is collapsable and can be easily put away in a drawer when not in use. Size (folded up) 7 1/2 inches x 11 inches. Finished in polished chromium. Packed in attractive gift box. Price, $6.00 each, retail.
Now, $6 back in 1933 was a LOT of money! So, now you today can own this great piece of American Art Deco Industrial Design for a fair price today. There is no pitting to the chrome though there is some wear such as light scratches on the bottom of each tray. The surface was decorated in what is called chasing. I decided not to polish it and will leave it to the buyer.
I own this very tray and use it often when I entertain. It holds lots of cookies and candies, and appetizers look great on it. Add it to your American Art Deco or Chase chrome collection today.
