I quite like collecting drink trays, especially Willow ones and most especially the Brian Baigent one above. I bought it at the Salvos at Bankstown about two years ago for about $5. Salvos at Bankstown is no longer in the shopping centre and it is a pity.
The middle Queensland tray is made in Hong Kong, but quite attractive and the top tray is by Maynard Waters and is also manufactured by Willow.
Earlier in the year I wrote an email to Willow and asked if they would ever reissued these trays.They said no.
I love bits and pieces of Australian memorabilia.
Ebay Australia currently have a tray the same as the Brian Baigent one for sale at the moment for $14.95 if you would like a similiar one!

Lots of info on dyeing and microwave and WOOL.

Those trays bring back memories of summers at my grandparents' places, with cold lemonade served in chilly anodised aluminium cups!
ReplyDeleteI can remember those, we had quite a few of them at my parents home...I wonder if my Mum still has them.....
