This superb hammered aluminum small tray 4 1/2” long x 3 1/2” wide was made in Switzerland. The craftsmanship is superb in detail and dimensionality . Lady Liberty is in the foreground, prominently displayed and the skyline of the East Side of Manhattan along the East RIVER in the background. The EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, the Chrysler Buiilding and the UNITED NATIONS CAN BE RECOGNIZED. That fact it was Swiss made is interesting.
