You are bidding on a fabulous antique modern enamel and metal tray made by David Andersen of Norway
for the M/S (motor ship) BERGENSFJORD Norwegian America Line

it is 10 7/8" long by 5 1/4"

circa 1950s -1960s

MS Bergensfjord 1956-1971 ocean liner 18,739 GRT Sold to French Line as De Grasse, 1971


the enamel is in amazing condition with just a couple light marks ....truly insignificant and only viewed at certain angle

the stainless steel back does have several surface marks

it is signed M/S Bergensfjord Norwegian America Line

if you search google you should be able to find other David Andersen items for this cruise liner for documentation that it is from David Andersen

it came out of an incredible estate with important art , antiques & Scandinavian & American 1940s modern items
there was also some antique David Andersen sterling items , but sorry too fru fru and costly for us to buy

just for fun here is a blurb of info concerning the NORWEGIAN AMERICA CRUISE SHIP LINE via Wikipedia

Norwegian America Line (Norwegian: Den Norske Amerikalinje), was a cruise ship line, originally an operator of passenger and cargo ships
