Can anyone give me any information on the age or value of my grandmother's International Silver Co. serving tray? It's been in storage down here in South Texas for about 25 years. In pretty good condition. I also have old China that was hers for as long as my mother can remember.

It's sad to see lovely things that were bought and treasured many years ago become of such low value.
This type of item is not usually on very many people's 'wanted' lists but they do still sell.
You do not state the size and of course, the size, weight, and condition all affect the final value.
The high cost of shipping is becoming a major factor in the final value of items like this.
You can look at similar trays in the same size and maybe get some idea of value. The prices you see are asking prices and only a sold identical item can tell you the value.

You can also check out sold items on eBay to see what people are actually paying for trays.

When I have items like this, I usually take them to a local pawn shop and see what (or if) they would pay me for the item.
This can provide some information but they may only value it at 20% of the true value but they usually can provide information about age and silver content.
International Silver Co. is a company hallmark, the word silver does not indicate that the flatware is real silver. You have a Silver-plated Tray.
I found an almost identical looking 12.25 International Silver Co Silver Plated Tray Round Classic Design in similar condition but the label says Inspected by 18 (your dish says Inspected by 14) www.ebay.com/
The price is $15.
The price of another Silver Plate tray with a very similar design but in not very good condition is $17.99
Round Silver Plate Tray By International Silver Company at $19.99 www.ebay.com/
I think the price of your Round Silver Plate Tray By International Silver Company is about $15-20.
Silver plated items have no value. I gave away my late mother-in-law's things.
Fine china is also not as desirable as it was. People are getting entire sets for $35 and less.
Silver-plated items hold very little monetary worth. There's not enough silver content in them, therefore they do not retain their resale value. A 9" silver-plate tray is priced @ $2.50 on ebay.
I found a vintage International Silver Company Handcrafted Serving Tray Plate 12" with the price $29.69
Was $32.99 www.ebay.com/
Vintage International Silver Co. round plate tray platter was recently sold at $6.49
