This solid silver tray is 9" in diameter and weighs a substantial 12.8 T. oz. It is stamped W. Gale & Son (NY), suggesting it was made between 1853-66. This dating is fully consistent with the style of the piece. There is a second, incused rectangle that is blurred, but the last portion are the letters ES, which may indicate Gale, Wood & Hughes, or Gale and Hughes, two Gales partnerships. There is no standard designation, but Gale went to sterling very early on, so this could be coin or ster... Click for details
