Comments/description: This version has no brewer info in the red at the bottom and there is no manufacturer. TRADE MARK appears below the hand. Tray is 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 version has a yellower green than its similar counterpart. 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

Small blemishes yet still great color. Rim edge shipping. A few small dings on the left side do not show well in photos, nor does a dimple in the edge of the face between 12- and 1-o-clock.
