 Comments:

From the Collection of Mark Rogers.  Branding on the tray would indicate this tray is pre 1897, however very few trays were produced before 1900.

 Comments:

From the Collection of Daryl Ziegler.   Same discussion regarding branding.  If this is in fact not branded differently than their legal name, this is one of the earliest beer trays produced.
