From the Collection of James Kaiser.  AAW. stock tray No. 116, "The Invitation."  Manufacturing notes and sales catalogs tell us that this tray was produced between 1911 and 1918.  Copyright on the tray indicates 1911, however this is most likely the copyright of the art work, not when the tray was manufactured.
