Vintage 1920s-30's Forman Brothers Art Deco Tray Chromium w/Bakelite Handle

Description

In 1920 two brothers and a sister started a metalware business in Brooklyn New York, that became an immediate success.  The business was named Forman Brothers,  and they had over a dozen patents on everything from Cocktail Shakers to Coffee Pots.  In 1938 the business name was changed to Forman Family, so we can date this item pretty accurately.   Famously, Sol Forman went on to buy Peter Luger's Steakhouse, one the world's most renowned Steakhouses which the Forman Family continues to run until this day.
You are viewing a fabulous art deco style tray, made with chromium plating which was at that time a new process.  The tray has embossed flowers designs on the side, and a lovely bakelite handle.
The tray measures 5 3/4" High and is about 12 1/2" Long.
