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.

Birkenstock Brewers Lunch Pail
Here is a Birkenstock Brewers Lunch Pail from the John Birkenstock, Sunrise & Sunset Brewing Company located in Allentown, PA. This pre-prohibition era Birkenstock Brewers Lunch Pail is from between 1890 and 1898 and is in excellent condition considering how old it is.
It is about the size of a standard lunch kettle and is made of tin with an embossed lid. The Embossing on the lid reads “Compliments of John Birkenstock Brewer & Bottler Allentown, PA”.
Lunch pails like this one were basically the working man’s lunch kettle from back in the day and would have also served as a beer growler to transport beer back home; click here to check out my blog article about the Evolution of the Beer Growler from what was once just a lunch pail for the working class.
Brass Glennon’s Beer Sign
Here is a Glennon’s Beer Brass Sign from the Jos. H. Glennon’s Brewing Company located in Pittston, PA. This pre-prohibition Glennon’s Beer Sign is from the early 1900’s era and is in very good condition for it’s age.
It is approximately 26″ wide by 14" high and is made of heavy brass with stamped lettering. Signs like these would have been displayed on the side of a tavern or saloon to advertise Glennon’s Beer to patrons. During the time, brass was the ideal metal of choice for outdoor advertising signs in that it would not weather or rust.
