The only Canadian serving tray I have, since we are not far from the Canadian border these trays will appear in our local antique shops and garage sales. The 1957 tray is called "Rooster Tray" in was produced for the Canadian market both in English and French-Canadian.

It's basically the same idea as the one that I posted,colour and bottle on a coaster style base.
There were four 1957 Canadian trays, they were called. "Girl with the Umbrella" it is the most popular and scarce of the four. Rooster tray, Sandwich Tray, and Birdhouse tray. all four were produced in English or French-Canadian.
Now I can tell your canadian, you spelt color colour. Both are great trays, ttomtucker, I didn't look in my book, but just from reading alot about collecting coke, the foreign stuff is lower then the american stuff. Sorry if I was inaccurate
how do you tell ones from the 50s are real?
I have a 1957 Rooster Tray for sale. Is ebay the only outlet for these trays?
Thx.
