“With many metals being in short supply due to World War I and World War II, hammered aluminum became a popular alternative and was often given as a wedding gift. Whether hand-wrought or machine produced, hammered aluminum could be shaped into innumerable designs, and never needed polishing”
I do regret donating a hammered aluminum Lazy Susan.
If you have a piece of hammered aluminum you might find this article interesting
My mother has very similar pieces.
The pieces are very nice and their history is interesting. The memories are priceless. The piece you donated is no doubt appreciated by its new owner and new memories are being created for that family. Dc
I like your thinking ❤️
I have been collecting hammered aluminum
for years especially the trays, I didn’t know the history behind them. I have paid as little a dollar for a piece . A friend gave me her grandmother’s three tiered tray.
That’s so cool. The link to the article must have been interesting to you, about collecting
This is beautiful with an interesting backstory as to how this came to be. My mom had a tray. But what happened to it? I expect one of my sister’s grabbed it.
Thank you for highlighting this type of serving dish. I now have a whole new appreciation of a double tiered piece which I inherited from my grandmother. And the article was very interesting. Pam
Oh that’s so wonderful, Pam.
