Comments: Now here is one of the toughest NJ trays around. This one is in incredible condition and I feel fortunate to have been able to upgrade to this beauty. The dot after the "A" in "Extra", is not part of the tray and is the only face flaw on this tray. Contrary to popular conversation and based on the "Burton Products, Inc." logo in the bottom left part of the tray, this tray was manufactured after Sprattler & Mennel Brewing Co. was bought out by Burton Products. The Burton Products Inc. leads me to believe the tray was manufactured after 1934. The reference to "Graham's" is because Burton Products, Inc. was James A. Graham Brewing Co. until after Prohibition.
