[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 76035, member: 59"]Welcome, Trish! Thomas S. Byers, born 1860 in Tennessee, was listed as a jeweler in the 1900 Census of St. Louis. His store was called T. S. Byers Mercantile in the 1903 city directory. Given the 1904 date of the St. Louis "World's Fair" (formally called the Louisiana Purchase Exposition) your tray should date from right about then. Can you see any caption for the picture? I tried to find a match in my copy of the souvenir book, but it was hard to tell. It might be just an amalgamation of the general "look."
