I think this is 70`s or 80`s !!  Not a repro because from what I can find they never made a tray !!  During that time period they were making repro`s of many old trays like the Coke trays !!  I have seen other items that had a name on them but were not originally made by the companies !!

I lived in Ark when I was a little girl,I dipped snuff that's what it was called,dipping snuff.There were ads on trays,papers,books.But I can't find out when they were made I do remember in the country store there were trays with snuff on it,they had bitter and sweet snuff,I used the bitter snuff lolol.Sorry I have to disagree with you all that.

1950's I was around 9 or 10,there was a country store I believe the name of the store was Sudan in Marrianna Ark.I'm sure it had been there before I was born,it was old at that time.

Why not just email the company and  ask !!  It is not WE Garrett anymore but most companies will have a history/historian familiar with all the promo`s !!

Interesting side note on the Garrett family: http://www.delawaretoday.com/Delaware-Today/July-2015/The-Mystery-of-the-Garrett-Snuff-Fortune/
Imagine being ordered by the court to destroy and burn the contents of the house!
(Maybe that's where the rest of the trays went? :) )

Wow !!  That story makes it worth keeping that tray,,even if it is not one of Garrett`s !!  I would print the story and frame it with the tray !!  Even if it is sold it would bring more than the tray alone !!

That Garret story about hundreds of people claiming to be a heir to the estate ….. reminded me of the settling of the Howard Hughes estate.

If there is a “will”, there is a relative. If there is no “will”, there can be hundreds of relatives.  ;D ;D ;D
