Schwarzenbach Beer Tray
Here is a Schwarzenbach Beer Tray from the Schwarzenbach Brewing Company located in Hornell, NY. This pre-prohibition era Schwarzenbach Beer Tray is from between 1895 to 1920 and is in fair condition considering how old it is.
This tray is approximately 13″ and was made by American Art Works located in Coshocton, OH. The graphics on this tray display a stock scene of a red stag or deer with lettering around the rim that reads “Schwarzenbach Brewing Company” and “Hornell, NY”.
It appears that the lettering around the rim may have been painted over at some point. This was a common practice during prohibition as it was not only illegal to produce, sell, and consume alcohol but it was also illegal to have anything that advertised or promoted it; so people would paint over the advertising on a lot of these trays.
This would be a great tray candidate for restoration. Should you be interested, we are happy to refer you to one of our trusted restoration professionals.

Presidential Rye Whiskey Clock
Here is a Presidential Rye Whiskey Clock from the E. De. Lue & Company Distillery located in Chicago, IL. This pre-prohibition era Rye Whiskey Clock is from between 1896 to 1918 and is in excellent condition considering how old it is. This clock is easily over 100 years old and is't amazing that it still operates and keeps accurate time too.
It's approximately 12" by 10" by 5" and is made of cast iron with a winding mechanical clock at the top. The cast text on the clock body reads "Presidential Pure Rye Malt" across the top and "The Best Medicinal Whiskey In America" across the bottom with the "E. De. Lue & Co. Chicago Sole Prop's" across the base. A Cast Iron Clock like this would have originally been displayed on a back bar display or general store countertop to advertise Presidential Medicinal Whiskey to patrons.
Robert Smith Match Holder
Here is a Robert Smith Match Holder from the Robert Smith Ale Brewing Company located in Philadelphia, PA. This Robert Smith Match Holder is from between 1896 to 1901 and is in great condition considering how old it is.
It is made of lithographed painted metal and was made by the Chas. W. Shonk Company who was located in Chicago, IL. The advertising on this matchbox holder depicts the Robert Smith Ale Brewery “Tiger Head Brand” graphics and promotes their products of Ale and Stouts. Match holders like this would have been displayed on the bar top or on tables inside of a tavern or saloon; a matchbox would have sat between the 2 prongs. Patrons could light their cigars and pipes and discard the used matches into the tray.
