CAL-DAK Tray Table Set
Happy 2011! This hang tag was included with my mom’s recent eBay acquisition – 1957 folding tray tables. This type of tray has been in my house for as long as I can remember. The raised edges are smart. As kids, we called them TV trays, but that did not limit their use.
For apparent quality reasons, I have including two images

Wet Nap
I must admit, I did not scan this image. I do not want this to become a precedent for web-scavenging here at the Product Manual Archive. But the never-changing logo has been on my mind for some time. I needed to post. Finding and scanning one may be the perfect excuse to try nearby BBQ restaurants.
