Brewer/Business Name: Van Nostrand Bunker Hill Breweries, Boston, Massachusetts
Manufacturer/Plant: Chas. Shonk
Date of manufacture: Pre-Prohibition
Contents/Type: N/A
Dimensions: 12 inches.
Comments/description: The face of this tray look terrific, with incredibly striking graphics in reds, gold, and black, of the brewers trade mark bull dog and saying OH BE JOLLY! Around the inner rim is a repeating pattern of diamonds and P.B. ALE LAGER PORTER. The face shines beautifully although its quality diminishes approaching the edge at the base of the rim where there is oxidation. This is heavier on the rim, however, so is not readily apparent when viewed straight-on. Desirable graphics. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
