Courtesy of Morean Auctions. Haeusermann Litho Co. version, with no markings on the bung. Haeuserman Lithography Co. only produced trays from 1905 to 1921, therefore this tray is pre-prohibition. You see many more examples of the barrel trays from Electro-Chemical Engraving Co. and American Can Co. than you do Haeusermann. |
