Description: An antique bronze poche vide, or pin tray, or dish, in the shape of a bat. This tray is unmarked, on its front, but its design is identical to the small bat-shaped trays that were manufactured by Bradley & Hubbard in Meriden, CT, and P.E. Guerin in New York City during the final quarter of the nineteenth century (the tray is marked on its verso with a line of text that I cannot make out).. While it is not unusual to find a tray without any text, more often than not, these bat trays were cast with the name of a business or a fraternal society in raised letters across the bat's outstretched wings. This tray bears no such inscription, allowing the tray's rich, dark brown patina to come to the fore. Bronze, 4 3/16" x 2 5/8", 4.3 oz. or 122 g Excellent Condition, no flaws or defects; a detailed cast with a beautiful, dark brown patina.
