F and S Beer-Ale 1930s Serving Tray WAITER BELLHOP EXCELLENT

Business Name: Fuhrmann & Schmidt Brewing Co., Shamokin, Pennsylvania
Manufacturer/Plant: Universal Tray and Sign Co., New York, NY
Date of manufacture: circa 1930s
Condition/Comments: Very colorful edition that depicts a waiter or bellhop carefully balancing a tray of full F&S pilsener glasses. Executed in a very graphic style. This tray is from Universal, and features its notoriously sensitive inks that are innately prone to cracking/crazing and color variances, even without external influences or mishandling. That said, this tray is in excellent condition, with very good fidelity and brightness in both the blue and red, the two most frequently affected colors. Crazing is present however, with some lightening in the cracks. High grade for this design. 12-inch diameter. All items are original unless otherwise noted.
