Quirky Vintage 1950s Japanese wooden drinks tray with coasters - A camel can go without a drink... big cat I call this a cakeProbably inappropriate in this day and age but hey its very funny and the 1950s produced plenty of tongue in cheek humour. The Japanese were renowned for catering to this kind of import to Australia market. Made from unknown wood and stamped 'Japan' to the back of tray and on the coasters. This fabulous item is in good used condition. THE Blurb! *Please see and expand the photos as they all help to form part of the overall condition description.
