General
Like its Tuscarora counterpart, the first stock tray by Beach was very popular both among brewers and non-brewers. Popular, despite the fact that the lady’s proportions are not quite right (her head is slightly too large and her legs too small in relation to her body). In this case the artist actually has the child's proportions pretty well, when art enthusiasts will note that this is usually much harder to pull off the proportions of infants and toddlers.
When Beach decided to re-enter the “novelty advertising” business with a concentration on signs and trays, he purchased an existing facility in New York, formerly Ginna & Co., a well known tin can producer who did early litho work on cans. This first tray may have been produced at the Ginna facility as Beach’s new state-of-the-art production facility in Coshocton was not ready until six months later in July of 1902.
The original versions of this tray are always oval and almost always carried the No. 1, but no copyright date or title. The “Springtime” title appears on self-framed-tin (SFT) sign versions. Because of the fancy faux carved rim the ad text (usually in gold print) appears on the face of the tray. Hager mentions this tray and specifically its rim as evidence of a separate Beach catalogue.
Fools Gold
Please Also, note the much later release by Leinenkugel of a tray using the same image, but in a completely different ornate tray style and certainly not a litho. This practice of using an old design was also quite commonly used by AB and often confuses the new collector, with them thinking they have struck 'Gold', where actually only 'Fools Gold'!
