6 inch diameter Tip Tray, with litho art showing Hilda Clark. From researching her, she was the first woman to model for Coca Cola in 1895. She retired from modeling in 1903, when she married a millionaire, so this tray dates to between 1895 and 1903. The maker's mark is 'Chas W Shonk Litho Co Chicago'. Rust spots on cheek and chest, as you can see, and shallow dent on back which is not visible from front. In as-found condition, I have not tried to clean this lovely little piece of history. Nice color litho graphics, accented with gold gilt.
