Pitiful cakestand

Any idea how old it is?

 

Looks like mid 1950s-1960s to me.

 

Pitiful seems a bit harsh.

 

I meant that in a lovely way.

 

And I was wondering what sort of cake a "Pitiful Cake" is.........and why you may need a special stand for it.................

I believe it's traditionally served at a pity party.

 

It IS woefully in need of some silver polish....

 

The silver has mostly worn off. I personally think it's better to have it look like this than to polish the brass shiny.

 

It IS woefully in need of some silver plate....

 

Or a good dip in the baking soda and aluminum foil - take it down the rest of the way.
