I just picked up this 1934 Detroit Tigers Wooden Serving Tray. I have never found these with the advertising. I am thrilled to add it to my collection. Joey's Stables was a popular restaurant/nightclub in the Delray section of southwest Detroit and would remained open until 1989. The tray was produced to commemorate their first anniversary in business which coincided with the Tigers winning the AL pennant in 1934. As fate would have it, Detroit Tiger star and Detroit Southwestern High grad Barney McCosky (.312 lifetime BA) would eventually marry the owners daughter Jane.
