Narragansett Brewing Co. (New Depot Ave) (1933-1951), Providence, Rhode Island - 12 inch, One of the more desirable beer trays. Featuring Chief Gansett a made-up Narragansett Indian Chief illustrated by Dr. Seuss. The illustration is seemingly inspired by Hans Flato who worked with the Ruppert Brewery a generation earlier. Flato's squared curves are here as is his signature platforms. Where Dr. Seuss departs is in movement. His platform has wheels and the Chief is racing on it to deliver a schooner of beer! Exceptional condition but for an eraser-sized white spot at the right., Grade 9.5

Unless otherwise requested, shipping will be fulfilled via USPS or UPS. Insurance on winnings of over $50 is required, as is a handling fee, to cover to cost of labor and materials. Generally, this is 50¢ per can, $1 per tray and bottle, $10 per wooden crate. Medium-sized signs will require a $5-10 handling fee. The handling fee for large items could be quite a bit more. Shipping charges will be combined for multiple lots, of course.
