 Comments:

Internet auction image capture.  Potentially a branded stock tray, as it is inconsistent that the Brewer used 10 non-stock designs and one stock tray.  The eBay seller has sold a number of stock trays that are believed to be branded stock trays. 

The stock image used is an H.D. Beach tray No. 13B.  Manufacturing notes & sales catalogs indicate this stock image was used from 1905 to 1910.

Internet auction image capture.  Contact us if you would like credit.  The Trayman 2.0 Tean ise not sure if there is a connection of this tray with Mass Breweries Co. Kings trays above, but the "King's" logo is certainly identical.  Please contact us to verify or give us the true story.
