The first beer advertising trays were produced in the 1890s, and they remained popular for decades. Twelve and thirteen inch round trays were the most common, although most pre-Prohibition trays were oval. Other varieties included tip trays, solid brass trays, and porcelain enamel trays. Graphics varied widely, including ornate lettering, brewery scenes, pretty girls, comic-type characters and animals.
