Comments/description: This version has brewer info in the red at the bottom and lists the maker, American Art Works. There is no trade mark. Boldly colored and starkly designed, this one is loaded with graphic treatments that really jump out at the viewer. Distinctly 1930s linear rendering of the arm and glass is very cool, though some may argue that the head overflowing the glass looks more like an ice cream float than a beer! This is a heavily-painted tray that could almost pass for porcelain enamel. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

Blemishes as shown plus some spidering and light oxidation in the green that is difficult to see because of the dark color. Free of dings and kinks.
