There is a small hand engraved griffin in the center of the tray. Maker's marks: "Triple Deposit - Mappin & Webb's Prince's Plate - London & Sheffield - W11275" along with what appears to be a gothic lower case "m" inside a shield, presumably a date letter; on the opposite end of the tray back there is another small symbol, significance unknown. 1920s-30s I believe.
