This tray was issued in Canada and used the image during Prohibition on both this and a similar tip tray. This version is treated much more graphically than the highly detailed illustrations from the U.S. Manufactured by St. Thomas Metal Signs Ltd. All items are original unless otherwise noted.

Condition

High grade example. A few small blemishes on the face are visible in the photos. Smooth surface and a nice shine. Tiny dimple at 9-o-clock. Humidity in the metallic gold on the rim.
