Comments: Kind of a different tray. It kind of reminds me of a TV tray as it is quite large. I have seen maybe a half dozen of these, so they are not all that rare.

"The '92 stands for 1892 when John Oertel bought out his partners in the Butchertown Brewery. Upon the repeal of Prohibition, John Oertel wanted to remind customers that he had been brewing since 1892 so the brewery created the Oertels '92 brand and trademark in 1933." Thanks David - there were a bunch of us wondering.
