Date of manufacture: circa 1940s

Comments/description: Two trays for one bid. These examples from Harvard are two of the several variations of this design: one is silver and made of steel, while the other is painted with gray enamel and constructed of lighter weight aluminum. The steel tray lists Ale, Export Beer, Clipper Ale, and Porter, while the newer aluminum tray lists only Ale, Export Beer, and Porter, along with the HAS WHAT IT TAKES tag line at the bottom. Steel tray is from American Can Co., the aluminum from Beach Co. Silver steel tray is minty; the other shows light wear plus a tiny ding on the rim edge at 12-o-clock and some ripples in the very center. All items are original unless otherwise noted.
