Has anyone information on blank tray makers which I understand was a trade in the Birmingham area
Some evidence backing up this suggestion:Purely a suggestion but there was a lot of papier mache goods made here in Birmingham including trays. Maybe he made the trays prior to being lacquered or decorated. Again maybe he punched out metal blanks for trays before being decorated or even, if he worked in the jewellery quarter, he made plain silver tea trays before they were engraved and decorated.
