Retro Metal Leaf Tray
This is a RARE WWII collectible Estate find from a WWII veteran's wife
This Vintage leaf tray is clearly marked "Made in OCCUPIED JAPAN" and has CPO Diamond
THE mark CPO was used between 1946 through 1948
The CPO designate...s it was sold at a US Military bases in Occupied Japan
Sold Only on the U.S. Army and Navy Bases in Japan, CPO stands for CENTRAL PURCHASING OFFICE
I believe this is Silver Plate based on the back patina/finish however, I am not certain
It has a patina on the front that appears a little like brown paint, maybe once used as an ashtray?
Could use refinishing - - great bones!
As found with great patina and solid markings on the bottom
It measures 9" long and 5" wide 1" tall
