Down to the bed linens, silver, and crockery, the former RMS WINDSOR CASTLE remained remarkably unchanged throughout her use (and over a decade of layup) as MARGARITA L. It was truly one of the most depressing events of the new millennium when this wonderful old liner was disposed of. Her scrapper was not particularly interested in her fittings, and these trays were one of his many casualties. I found a pile of them in a muddy puddle and sorted through what must have been close to a hundred to find a few that could be salvaged. Such a shame!

These trays are light and sturdy. They have stops along their top surface to prevent things from sliding off. The mahogany is absolutely splendid and has a wonderful sheen. I will sell those in best condition first. Each has a small nick or two, but for the most part, all of them are quite splendid.
