Buck Tray Advert. Cincinnati’s Elsinore Tower – built in 1883. Signed K&O. for Kronheim & Oldenbusch. Found a treasure trove of info on K&O from – Collecting Vintage Compacts and added a small paragraph at bottom of page.
Art Nouveau Deer Pin Tray looks solid bronze or brass and non magnetic, measures 5″ x 3 1/2″ and and site close to 3/8″ tall. Nice weight at 9 oz. The buck is in raised relief with paint bold and crisp.
Older tray in very nice condition and condition is key. Has its less then average wear, handling marks, finish loss, nice Patina and looks great!
Fun find for the Cincinnati’s Elsinore Tower collector or just a great tray for the hunter in the family. Great cabin or country lodge display piece.
Guessing made early 1900’s.
From the available records, the two principals, Joseph Kronheimer and Ernest Oldenbusch created a business together in 1899 and calling it, unsurprisingly, Kronheimer, Oldenbusch and Company. Each of the founders had been involved in the metal goods industry for some years, Kronheimer in his own business with his younger brother Louis and Oldenbusch as a long standing employee of the well-known New Jersey-based company, WilliamSchimper, a manufacturer of fancy brass goods and components. On 28 February 1900 the company was formally incorporated and the name changed (slightly) to The Kronheimer & Oldenbusch Company with the main business purpose being the manufacture of novelties, hollow ware and fancy metal goods.
