History
Found in an OLD Tumwater home we were renovating. Leopold Schmidt & his brewery are from this town in Washington state. The Horseshoe trademark on this piece is definately his & also it's his families coat of arms(Germany).Since nothing about the brewery or alcohol is said on this piece we were thinking maybe from the prohibition but then that would throw out the glass plate theory?!??
