1920’s Columbus Brewing Co. Pre Prohibition Tip Tray Excellent

This is a single-sided tin lithograph tip tray with an excellent Christopher Columbus design. Waiters and waitresses utilized these small 4” trays to place the customers' change at the end of the transaction in bars and restaurants. The brewery would provide these types of promotional materials to the bar or restaurant owners for free. For all parties, it was a win-win situation. As a result of their heavy use, these parts are usually damaged. Many collectors have a designated area in their home or garage where they exhibit these items. These signs look fantastic in recreation spaces. Some collectors focus on a particular brand or category, such as beer.
