Hi All,
I dug this the last time I went for bottles. The dump seems to have stuff from the 1890's to about 1914. This thing was folded up in a big wad. I carefully unfolded it and discovered that it says:
It is very thin, stamped brass. It even has the brass chain. My friend who is an experienced bottle digger told me it would have been a promotional display that would have been behind the bar. Probably polished to a high luster with painted lettering. I'd like to restore it but I wouldn't know where to start. I'll just leave it the way it is. The picture was taken on the tailgate of my truck. It measures 9.5" X 13".
