"Quality for 50 Years" is a bit confusing when you look at the AB-II data as the company's earliest date is 1860, but this tray is definitely post pro.  We are not sure where they started their clock for the 50 Years, but we believe the tray to be from the mid to late-1930's

Tuscarora Advertising Co. 'Health & Beauty.'  The first mention of this stock tray in any literature we have found is January of 1900, however there is a mention of the Pabst version in October of 1899.  We therefore estimate 1899 to 1901 for this rare tray.  We have seen a few of these, so we go with 'Very Rare' versus 'Unicorn.'
