"Pacific Beer" Tin Advertising Tray Tacoma, Washington, circa 1910"

About the Item

This Pre-prohibition round advertising beer tray, promoting "Pacific Beer" was a product made by "The Pacific Brewing & Malting Co. Tacoma" Washington, as is stated directly on the tray. Also stated "Best East or West". This circa 1910 tray would have been used in bars and saloons by servers to carry drinks, hopefully "Pacific Beer". This particular tray is, obviously in unused condition and is in excellent to near mint all original shape with no touch up and it's original lithography; which consists of a beautiful brown tinted simulated wood grain finish ; a gold circumference band to the top border and recessed well; and a lovely image of Mt. Ranier (incorrectly calling it "Mt. Tacoma 14,256 ft"), a lake and pine trees completes the scenery; rear side of tray is painted green. Manufacturer is attributed to Charles Shonk in Chicago. Dimensions: 1 3/8" high x 12" diameter. Note: A metal magnetic rectangular bar especially made for beer trays to make hanging for display easy, is included with the purchase. Provenance: I guarantee the authenticity of this tray. It is from my own personal collection of Western Americana memorabilia acquired 1998.

  • "Toby" Jug Still Bank and Biscuit Tin, circa 1910
    Located in Incline Village, NV
    This is both a still bank and a biscuit tin. It would originally have been sold, filled with biscuits. After all of the cookies would have been consumed, the tin (rather than been thrown away) would have been used as a bank to save money. There is a slot for deposits at the back of the neck at the top (see image). Coins would have been removed by lifting or twisting the snug fitting lid. Toby is nicely hand-painted in pleasing colors of green, blue, gold, and white, with realistic flesh tones to the hands and face. The total height is 6 1/2" while the total width is 6" (includes handle). Diameter at the base is 5". This Toby figured tin was manufactured circa 1911 by the biscuit tin company of Hudson Scott located in Carlisle, England. It is marked at the bottom "Hudson Scott & Sons Ltd. Carlisle, England." It has crossover appeal into three categories of collectors. It would be a welcome addition to both the still bank collector and the biscuit tin collector...
