Comments/description: Unnumbered stock image titled GYPSY from Chas. Shonk adorns this tray from Hoster Brewing Co. of Columbus, OH. Surface is dulled a bit from paint oxidation and some areas of evident wear. Still, colors are very good and the image remains clear. Rim is a little flattened at about 11-o-clock. Displays well and the white ring on her neck can almost pass as a charm on a necklace! All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
