This small, rectangular tray features a Commissioners’ Map and Survey of Manhattan Island drawn in 1811, with report-related materials on the back. Early Manhattan grew organically, but as the city’s population expanded rapidly, tripling between 1790 and 1810, plans were developed to prepare for and regulate the city’s anticipated growth northward. Perfect for storing keys, jewelry, coins, or just as a souvenir, with this tray you can stay organized with a piece of New York history.

  • Can be used with food
