Striking white and gray blooms decorate this vintage black toleware tray, a souvenir from Edgewater Park, Mississippi
Manufactured by Nashco Products, the matte black tray features unusual hand-painted flowers, green leaves, a rolled rim and gold trim
The E.T. Nash Company ( N.Y. 3, N.Y.) produced numerous hand-painted metal trays from the 1920's  on
Labeled as  "Chip and Alcohol Resistant, "  they were quite popular in the  1950's  not only as a memento of a vacation or trip but also for offering drinks and appetizers to guests;  often used as wall-decorations
Originally priced at $1.25  (see bottom composite photo, left)

The tray measures approximately 11 inches in diameter and is in pretty good condition, age and use consistent; the original foil label is present
However, there are some light scratches, nicks, etc. on the front plus a slight dent (see arrow, bottom composite photo)
In addition, the back is lightly scratched with areas of light pitting (perhaps paint corrosion ?)
See larger composite photos below for representative features and flaws
