Anyone familiar with this breakfast tray ?

Not sure much about this breakfast tray. Just was told it was made late 1920's from the Dillingham Mfg Co in Wisconsin.

Can you please post dimensions.  Doesn't make sense a breakfast tray/table opens up like that.  Thinking it was a laptop writing table. (not meaning laptop as it is used today for computers.)

With the tilt-top and the "lip" on the sides and bottom, it could have been for "reading" in bed, ...... not "eating" in bed.

Could be a combination of the two !!  Eating and writing or reading !!

24 inches across x 15 wide
the reason it opens is for a book / when closed used for eating
