Note: This item came from a descendant of a brewery employee who worked at the Elk Brewery. Our guess is that he or the brewery marked the bench for ownership. If’s a unique piece with a great story, it has a “folk art” feel to it in someways too.

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.
