Brewery: Anheuser-Busch Brewing Ass’n., St. Louis, MOManufacturer: Standard Advertising Co.Date of manufacture: Circa 1900Dimensions: 13” w x 10-5/8” hComments: Do not confuse this very rare original with the larger and newer reproduction. An iconic and familiar scene, the bottle-toting cherubs on this circa-1900 tray have been kept quite well preserved for more than a century. The tray does exhibit some crazing and crackling, as well as a few tiny rim chips (evident in the closeup at right); the paint surface has oxidized slightly yet the colors remain vivid. Even with these nits, we challenge you to find another for sale in comparable condition.
