1940s Pabst Breweries Tin Beer Tray – "It's Time for Pabst" – American Can Co. 13 in.

Here's a real one: a circa-1940 Pabst Breweries tin serving tray with the famous "It's time for Pabst" slogan circling the rim. The red Pabst hop-leaf medallion sits proud at the centre, printed by the American Can Co. (Form No. 541). Honest wear, bold graphics, and 80-plus years of bar history — exactly the kind of piece that makes a bar wall or breweriana collection sing.
