Description

Please take the time to read through my entire item description and view all the photographs.  I consistently prepare accurate and detailed descriptions and provide clear close up photographs for all my listings.  The aforementioned notwithstanding, note the photos are still the biggest and most important part of this or any description.  As the old saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words".  If you would like additional photos or have specific questions just message me and I will respond ASAP

For your consideration is a
RARE vintage 1953 commemorative 50th ANNIVERSARY 1903 - 1953 brass (non-magnetic) dealership advertising trinket dish/tray celebrating Buick Motor Cars 50 years
in business.
Please note, I have a sizable collection of vintage advertising and antique ashtrays that I will be listing here on eBay a few pieces at a time until they are all sold.  If you're interested in vintage ashtrays please look for any other ashtrays I may currently have listed.  Of course I combine shipping so long as all the pieces can be safely packaged together inside one shipping box.
This vintage trinket dish/tray is made out of stamped brass (non-magnetic metal) and weighs approximately 2.0 ounces by itself.  The tray measures approximately 4-1/8" in diameter and sits approximately 7/16" high when laid flat on the table top.
The trinket dish/tray remains in good condition for being nearly 70 years old.  The surface of the brass shows honest age and prior use but nothing you wouldn't expect and/or want to find on a genuine vintage piece like this.  The top and bottom surfaces of the tray have minor surface scratches, a few very tiny dents and scattered areas of wear from honest use and handling over the past decades.   Please refer to the description photos for more details about what I have described.
The commemorative trinket dish/tray features a red, white and blue colored background bowl that is trimmed in yellow.  There appears to be a clear coat covering and/or clear laminate over the design.
In the yellow center circle t
here is a black silhouette of an antique Buick automobile.  Surrounding the noted car's silhouette is the company name and the commemorative dates that read as follows below.
Please refer to the description photos for more details about what I have described.
"BUICK"
"1903" and "1953"
The trinket dish/tray remains in its original state and is in very good condition for being nearly 70 years old.  The red, white, blue and yellow colors remain clearly visible as can be verified in the description photos.  Overall this is a very nice collectible piece of vintage advertising, automobile and Buick history.  Additionally, this tray
would also be appreciated by any collector
as
it displays beautifully and makes a wonderful
addition to any antique/vintage memorabilia collection.  Please refer to the description photos to confirm the condition of the trinket dish/tray and for more details about what I have described.
