DESCRIPTION
A Wendell August Forge serving tray in hammered aluminum, worked across its whole surface with an Amish country farm scene: farmhouse, barn, windmill, fencing, figures, animals and horse-drawn activity rising in relief from the hammered field. The rectangular form with softly turned ends is deep enough for actual serving, and the maker's medallion on the reverse identifies Wendell August Forge, Grove City, Pennsylvania and Berlin, Ohio.
