Crafted from solid wood and adorned with two elegant treen handles, the tray is edged in striking white metal rail for a refined finish.

At its heart is a solid brass nameplate embossed with a personalized dedication:
"To MAJOR F.P.LANDON With all good wishes from the WOs, N.C.O.s and Men 977, M.T. Coy. R.A.S.C. Norwich, 1919." This historical tribute makes it a one-of-a-kind collectible. Stamped on the back is the maker's mark: Thomas Griffiths, Australia, adding to its provenance and charm. The contrast of colors, patterns, textures is striker and eye catchings. This craftsmanship would take many hours to produce this piece.

Measuring approximately 24 inches in length (including handles), 14 inches in width, and 2.75 inches in height, and weighing just under 5 pounds, this tray is both substantial and functional. Despite some expected surface marks and wear from age, it remains solid and ready for use or display as a conversation-starting centerpiece. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

Whether you're a collector of military memorabilia, a lover of fine antique craftsmanship, or simply looking for a standout decorative piece, this tray offers a blend of history, artistry, and timeless appeal. See less
