Vintage 1950's Karoff Foldable Wooden Tray w/ Roly Poly Condiment Containers - Folding Wood Buffet w/ Original Stickers Mid century Tray

Vintage circa 1950's Karoff Foldable Wooden Tray with the glass roly poly shaped condiment and salt and pepper shakers still in place. The 2 condiment containers are a round roly poly shape glass bottoms and have round wooden lids or tops that sit on top of the glass bottom - there is a cutout for a serving spoon in these lids. The salt and pepper shakers have glass bottoms and wood tops that screw off. The handles have a brass center section that is textured with a black ends (that I think is wood painted black) that extend on each end of the handle.

This set has the original tags or stickers still intact on the bottom and has a printed Karoff stamp as well - see last photo. Someone did not use this item at all and it is in amazing shape.

The tray itself expands for the display of your buffet items and/or condiments. Great mid century serving piece that opens up into 3 tiers and then folds back for convenient storage. Has set of 3 brass hinges on each side and brass handles.

Often called a Folding Picnic Tray, they were used inside the house but were also intended to be used at picnics to serve condiments. They could also make a setup for a display of a collection or plants if you did not want to use the condiment containers and salt/pepper shakers.

In great vintage condition with some light signs of wear from storage on the wood and patina on the brass handles. Really a wonderful mid century serving piece.

When folded down, this expanding tray is about 15" across including the handles, about 7 7/8" wide and about 4" high. When expanded, it is approx. 30" from handle to handle.
