Antique Questions Forum / A Antique Franks Pale Dry Serving Tray??
« on: March 04, 2010, 04:59:22 pm »
While tearing down a old house I found a old tin tray. It's red in color and says Franks Pale Dry Ginger Ale. It was kind of rough and I thought it might be worth a few bucks so I took it to a near by Antique Dealer.
I could tell right away he was a dying for it. After talking to him a bit he said the value depended on who was wanting it. He said he has seen a few go from 600 to 1200 in estate auctions and usually the rougher the better. He offered me 500 for it on the spot and I'm like well I may just want to hang on to it if its worth that much.
He wouldn't tell me much about the history on it and I was wondering if somebody on here could tell me in case I tried to sell it some where else.
Thanks
