    Description

    This tray just had its 100 year old birthday, probably when the Ecoma Dairy in Erie, PA, was a very young company.
    There’s an ad for Ecoma Ice Cream in a June, 1918, Police Journal and a record of the dairy applying for a patent in 1923,.
    As show in the photos, the tray is in very nice shape, with a few small nicks and small bits of oxidation in various places .  The tray measures 13 inches in diameter.
    The title of the artwork is “The Finishing Touch,” by an artist hired by The American Art Works of Coshocton, Ohio.
    Besides the great image of the woman eating ice cream in a fancy glass bowl, on a plate, what’s printed on the borders of the tray is really neat.  The top of the tray has ECOMA while the bottom has the suggestion, “Eat a plate of ice cream every day.”  On the left side “The Kiddies Enjoy It,” while on the right appears “You Will Too.”
