I swear to God those are the exact same TV trays my parents had back in the 60’s. Exact same ones.

Matter of fact the “holder tray” which had the wheels on it went with me to college in 1978 and was the table I put my little 13” black and white TV on.

Stamped steel, white baked enamel, those things wore like a battleship. If you find them in an antique shop and they’re not rusty, they’re perfectly useable.

LOL!! I remember the holder tray with the wheels. I think ours were clear plastic. Instead of blond furniture, we had mahogany. I think those are fibre glass curtains in that picture too. We had them too. We couldn’t afford carpets, so there was linoleum on the dining and living room floors. We never had an aluminum tree. My mother wouldn’t allow it. We always had real trees. We didn’t have a car so my Dad and brother used to take the sled if there was snow on the ground, or they took the wagon to put put the tree on. Back then a good sized tree only cost about 3 bucks. It was my father’s job to put the tree in the tree stand and get it straight, but the damn thing would fall over at least once during the holidays.
