Very rare Akron White Rock factory tray.  There are no tray manufacturing markings on this tray.

H.D. Beach Stock Tray, typically called "Young Bertha" as she resembles another version of a stock waitress tray released earlier by The Meek Co.  (No. 99 "Bertha")

Kauffman and Strauss Stock tray with great vibrant colors.  Creative logo application on a white rock in the background - this rock is not on any other stock versions of this tray.
