Various Trays from Couroc Company of Monterey CA, c.1960

I love Couroc trays! They made so many different ones different themes or for different events, that if you look long enough and collect long enough, there is one for everyone.

The Couroc Company was founded by Guthrie Courvoisier and his wife Moira Wallace in 1948. Prior to creating the company, Courvoisier ran the Courvoisier Galleries in San Francisco, which he inherited from his father in 1934.
