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

 Comments:

From the Collection of Mark Rogers.  H.D. Beach stock tray, is often called "Young Bertha," as she resembles another version of a stock waitress tray released earlier by The Meek Co.  (No. 99 "Bertha") below.  Manufacturing notes & sales catalogs indicate this stock image was used from 1907 to 1915.

 Comments:

Picture courtesy of Morean AuctionsKauffman 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.
