| "I wanted to share my VERY FAVORITE Thanksgiving and Christmas Feast Tradition"...This "HUGE" turkey platter is "Johnson Bros HIS MAJESTY"... It has been part of our Holiday meals since the early 70s and it can hold a "30 something pound turkey" and all it's trimmings... I calculated my turkey one year at weighing around 50lbs with all it's stuffings AND this is the platter that supported it(It is deep enough to hold almost a gallon of liquid alone)... Ebay didn't exist "WAY BACK when I bought this", and I had to "SPLURGE BIG to own it"... It has been worth it's weight in gold! I own MANY, MANY gorgeous platters, both old and new, but NONE hold up to these for their GRAND SIZE!!! I must "WARN" you gals though, IF you were thinking of acquiring one of these BEAUTIES you "MUST" also either support "Muscles of your own" or be in the company OF enough BRAWN to maneuver your "Movable Feast to the Table"!!! |

I've mentioned my love for Johnson Brothers so often that I'm officially shortening the name to J-Bro to avoid carpel tunnel! Your platter is spectacular, and I love that your visitors leave you pretty feathers:@)
Beautiful platter. Love those feathers.. Love the fowl outside the window too. Hope it was a beautiful day for you.
Donna, your platter is spectacular and very special. We don't own a turkey platter. Perhaps I need to start looking. ;-) How special that you have used this one all these years. That makes it a family treasure! I didn't realize that you have your own turkeys. What fun!
Enjoy the holiday weekend! ~ Sarah

That is a very pretty platter and I like the way you displayed the feathers with it also. Have a good evening....Julian
Dear Donna,
it is indeed a very outstanding turkey platter. I love the homoristic way to see the gracefull Majesty of the turkey. Really lovely detail and an abundance on decorations around him.
Thank you for sharing it. Made me smile.
Greetings, Johanna

What a wonderful platter! I don't have any turkeys living near the house, but I do enjoy their presence on my 30 country mile commute to everywhere. They really are a pretty bird.
