This rare and wonderful set of Card Suits trays dishes by Ralph P. Wilton for The Wilton Company are perfect for a night of Bridge, Poker or Rummy. The set features a tray/dish for each suit of the deck; Hearts, Spades, Clubs & Diamonds and are made of a special alloy created by The Wilton Company, known as Armetale. This metal makes them useful in a variety of ways, such as for serving nuts or as an ashtray while playing cards or for garnishes on a bar, and even on a desk of that special someone who loves Black Jack. They bear the hallmark/insignia of the maker. Good Luck!
The Wilton family has been involved in the metal casting industry since 1892 when Ralph P. Wilton, Sr. began working for his uncle at the Susquehanna Casting Company near Wrightsville, Pennsylvania. At that time, the foundry produced industrial iron castings for other manufacturers. Half a century later, Ralph P. Wilton, Jr. expanded the family business through other ventures, such as Wilton Products (1940) which made cast iron gifts and the Wilton Brass Company (1955) which initially produced industrial brass, aluminum, and iron castings. The company's greatest success occurred in 1963 when Wilton, Jr. developed the formula for a unique aluminum-based alloy called Armetale, which led to a new line of Wilton products. In 1969, the Wilton Brass Company relocated to Mount Joy, Pennsylvania and changed its name to reflect its new direction. Today, Wilton Armetale combines innovative design with old-world craftsmanship to produce a successful line of serveware, giftware, and decorative accessories.
