Originating from the personal collection of Roberto Clemente is a significant award from the Puerto Rican slugger's July 24, 1970 tribute night at Three Rivers Stadium. This quality silver-plated serving tray produced by noted New York silversmiths Gorham Co. was presented to Clemente by the Governor of Puerto Rico, Luis A. Ferre. Engraved with the seal of Puerto Rico and inscribed (in Spanish), "The Honorable Governor of the People of Puerto Rico Join The Deserved Tribute Offered To The Puerto Rican Star Of Baseball Roberto Clemente July 24, 1970". The facsimile signature of Governor Ferre appears below. The tray is in fine overall condition with some typical light surface scratching. Gorham hallmarks are stamped on the reverse. Tray measures 25" long. This cherished Clemente Day heirloom is accompanied by a letter of provenance from the Clemente family.
