Description: A very rare find in Palm Springs. Although there must have been many of these wooden trays made by Liberty Picture Company (Richmond, California) after the war to honor the service of our World War II Veterans, I can't find another one anywhere on the internet. The distinguished Veteran who was honored was R D Hudson S/1C for his service aboard the USS Cecil, which was Attack Personnel Transport Ship APA 96. The ship has an interesting history provided on Wikipedia and played an important part in the military operations in Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Launched as Sea Angler by Western Pipe & Steel, San Francisco, California, under a Maritime Commission contract, the vessel was acquired by the Navy 26 February 1944 and renamed Cecil after a county in Maryland. Unfortunately, we have no information about honored Veteran R D Hudson. This treasure belongs in a military museum. The tray measures about 20 x 15 inches and has quite a few scratches and the felt on the bottom of the tray is somewhat worn. There is a glass cover on the tray's surface.
