Aluminum Trays and Plates, My Collection
While thinking about a blog topic, I totally forgot about my aluminum tray and plate collection. Featured is part of my collection today.
This photograph shows my kitchen wall. I have an open floor plan in my house with only one weight bearing wall. My living room, dinning room and kitchen flow into each other with a beamed ceiling. On the kitchen wall I have an eclectic collection of odds and ends.
The far left dish was an odd one found at a junk store. It is marked Winsor Ware FB & C, Johnson Bros., England, Garden Bouquet.

Aluminum trays and plates were often given as wedding gifts during the 1950’s. This is the first plate I picked up in the Good Will. I love the bunches of grapes that are punched into the dish. It is marked with Everlast Forged Aluminum.
Aluminum items with markings are more valuable than those without.
