Indianapolis Brewing Progress Beer Tray

Brewery:  Indianapolis Brewing Co., Indianapolis, IN
Manufacturer:  Chas. W. Shonk Co.
Date of manufacture:  Pre-Prohibition
Dimensions:  18-1/2” w x 15-1/4” d
Comments:  One of the most graphically compelling trays in our catalog. Indianaloplis’ Progress Brand uses an Age of Progress motif for this oversized design, perhaps implying through a means other than the factory scene, that their business is every bit as progressive and modern as those other brewers. And they boast the results to back it up, touting medals in 1900 and 1904 at the top of the tray. Condition is very nice, with some oxidation and light wear to the paint, and micro-crazing throughout. Still, the colors remain strong, and the image and size of the tray would make it a standout in even the most advanced collection.
