A 1912 calendar plate advertising "Bonnie Rye" from Bonnie & Co., Distillers of Louisville, KY. It measures 9" in diameter.

The plate includes portraits of three assassinated presidents: Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, and William McKinley. At the bottom of the plate it says "Drink Bonnie Rye / Every Swallow Makes A Friend." The calendar months encircle the rim amid waving flags. The plate was given away by Cartoof & Company in Roxbury (Massachusetts?). The back of the plate shows that it was "Decorated by / Malden China Co. / Malden, Mass."
