Chas. W. Shonk Victorian Woman tray.   These plates were typically early work by Shonk, with the SS Dish being more common later, so we believe this tray was produced earlier than the Smoking Dog stock tray below.  Our wide range is due to our lack of direct data to support tighter date range.  Having said all of this, more than likely this tray is on the early side of this range.

Chas. W. Shonk stock tray 'Smoking Dog.'  The most often seen of the Banner stock trays.  See comments on dating in the tray above.  This tray is suspected to be on the later end of the estimated date range based on manufacturing techniques used - at a minimum younger than the Victorian Lady Shonk Plate above.
