Very rare and beautiful, original, ca1905, Tin Lithographed Advertising Serving Tray for Jersey-Creme - the Soda Fountain and Bottled Soda Drink featuring a fantastic image of a beautiful young woman!!! This simply outstanding, Soda Company, Advertising Serving Tray measures approx. 12” in diameter and features a profile portrait of a stunningly beautiful young woman. There are 2, original factory holes in the rim of the Tray at the top and this Tray could also be hung from a braided silk cord and displayed as a Charger type Advertising Sign.


The central image on the Tray features a profile portrait of an exceptionally beautiful young woman wearing an elegant, pastel green dress, a pearl necklace and a wonderful, multi-colored \"bonnet\" with ostrich feather band. There is text on the raised edges of the Tray that reads \"Jersey-Creme / The Perfect Drink\" and \"At Fountains / Also in Bottles\". The Chromolithography is of the very highest quality and the Tray is signed by the manufactured - Charles W. Shonk Co. of Chicago.


Jersey-Creme was a popular Soda Fountain Drink that was introduced around the turn of the 20th century which, along with other \"soda\" type drinks (such as \"Cherry-Smash\", Hires Root Beer. \"Orange Crush\") competed and held their own in a market that eventually was dominated by Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola. Jersey was available at Soda Fountains and also in bottles.


This beautiful ca1915, Jersey Creme Advertising Serving Tray is not a reproduction, reissue or restrike but is an original Tin Lithograph Serving Tray manufactured in the early 20th century to promote the sale of Jersey Cream Soda.


This outstanding, ca1905 Jersey-Creme Soda Advertising Serving Tray is in very good condition overall - the lithography is bright, vibrant and beautiful and the colors rich and warm. There is a shallow dent at approx. 8 o\'clock on the edge of the image area of the Tray and some spotting to the gold at the very edge of the rolled rim. While there are almost no small scratches or surface blemishes in the image area, there is what appears to be a small spot of professional restoration in the area of the woman\'s nose as well as to two small spots on the green of the rolled rim. The surface is sound and stable but there is a light pattern of surface crazing to the lithography. Overall the Tray is well preserved and displays beautifully.


A rare and very beautiful, ca1915 Tin Lithographed Jersey-Creme Soda Advertising Serving Tray and a fantastic addition to any collection!!!
