    Have had this for years but just got around to fixing it. 7" wide by 6" deep. About 4 3/4" tall to tip of the trident. Real baroque pearl is about 1 1/8" long and was added by me (something was missing there). I also drilled out a broken screw and replaced it. Calling card tray? or? No markings. Just numbers stamped into the parts. Think this is Vienna?

    Also, what do you think I should ask for this? (What would you ask if it was yours?) Prices can go rediculously high for some of the Vienna bronzes but, being unmarked, I don't really know what this might be worth. I also find no good comparables to look at. Of course I have to take into account the modification but I think I really added value over having just a hole there. I have very little into this but don't want to sell myself short. I will be taking it to the shop first but may end up putting it on ebay at some point if it does not sell.

    Just my opinion but if it was mine I would ask 300.00 ;)


    Maybe 375? The detail is fantastic.

    Its quality,who ever made it.And I think the pearl is the perfect touch myself. I could see this as a calling card tray.Personally I could see this at $200 give or take.

    I used the term in the last auction link
    Vide Poche with neptune,

    came up with some interesting things along with some brass and bronze trays.

    Brad -
    The detail on yours is very well done. I would be inclined to do more research before listing. I think it belongs on the higher side even with your pearl addition.
