The source of my information on this piece offered me an eye opening explanation as to the worth of this item..
The initial price of this particular tray was , back in good ol' 1962. That was an age where minimum wage was a hearty .15!
...and the average salary for a
SKILLED
MAN
was ,295.00. ,295...for..an...entire..YEAR. ..Or in other words: a week.
However, that was obviously not the targeted market for such an item. So, lets compare the price of the tray THEN to the price of a Cadillac in those grand MadMen days.
For a cool ,600 you could drive off the lot in a shiny new Cadi and a brand new monthly fiscal responsibility...
But that came at the expense of denying yourself 86 of these bread trays. Long story short, one Cadillac was equal to 86 of these trays. Imagine it kind of like buying 86 brand new thousand dollar iPhones or a new Escalade.
So, where does the value here ultimately come up? The name of S. Kirk & Sons carries with it quite a history: from being "America's oldest silversmith" to how they practically invented, used countlessly and ultimately perfected the manufacturing techniques of the Repousse styling that his brand made renowned and stands as a signature of his works. Also, the worth of the raw materials are well known to many and are sourced out for that reason alone.

Although we have done everything we can to objectively verify the functioning and authenticity of all our unique items, we sell them in an As-Is state. KarmaKrrdz is our brand that we hope to grow into something huge where Customer Service is put BEFORE there is a problem, not as a reactionary practice!
