An oval tin litho serving tray, 17" x 13-1/2", from Jno. T. Barbee & Co., Louisville, KY. The owner's name and location appear on the rim while scene at the center depicts an early log distillery house, marked with a crude, hand-lettered placard that reads "Old Barbee distillery, No. 32, 7 th District, Woodford Co., KY." An old man with a bottle and glass seated outside the door tempts two maidens fresh from the fields with a drink. Crates of whiskey appear in the foreground. The tray was made by The H. D. Beach Co., Coshocton, Ohio.
