General
Described in the 1900 Tuscarora catalog as “No. 3 Oval, 13 ½ x 16 ½ in., lithographed in ten printings.  Design Liberty.” 

The design is based on the Walter Shirlaw painting that appears on the back of the 1896 U.S. Five Dollar Silver Certificate.  This image has stronger and more dramatic coloring (in good conditions) than most other contemporary stock trays.  Only seems to come with the name panel rim common (it is possible this was a Tuscarora only thing and Meek & Beach only used the simpler drape rim.  If true, this image may not have been carried over to M&B). 

It was quite popular among brewers during the short time it appears to have been available in the catalog.  It does not appear in catalog #12 (1901) of #16 (1903); nor the 1903 price list.
