L. Pristo, Martele 950-1000 Gorham's Nouveau Art Silver, 2002, p. 385, where this tray is recorded from the Martele archives as a 'waiter' which was finished on 14 June 1907, measuring 31½in. long and weighing 187.3oz. The archives further record that it was raised by F.O. Erichsen in 78 hours and chased by George G. Germer for 211 15/60 hours. The net factory price was US$600 and originally part of a four piece tea service which also included a 15in. waiter which was mislabeled in the archives as the 'tray'.
