A very interesting tray featuring both American Brewing Co. of Indianapolis and Jacob Metzger and Co. an Indy bottler.   Based on the operational dates of Jacob Metzger, this is one of the verified oldest trays in the Trayman 2.0 databaseJacob Metzger & Co. was only in business from 1896 to 1897.  This is when some of the earliest know Shonk trays were manufactured.
