Tray is marked as "Made of Anaconda Copper," which is very cool as Anaconda is in Montana.  Not sure on the age of this tray, so please contact us if you have an estimate.

Interpreting the American Can Co. Coding the T2.0 Team dates this Sick's tray as 1947 manufacturing date, which certainly aligns with the dating for the short run of Sick's Great Falls Breweries, Inc. period.
