In 1964 Eppy Charms Inc. released Big
League Baseball Rings just in time for
the opening of the Major League Season.
The gold-plated rings were designed for
capsule vending. The complete series
featured the 20 clubs in the National
and American Leagues. The gold plated
rings (silver, copper and bronze) were
made using a vacuum plating process,
called "vacuum metalizing" introduced
by Samuel Eppy. The method was also
used on plastic charms. A large number
of novelty and charm manufactures
produces MLB team rings over the years,
including the Penny King Co., Karl
Guugenhiem Inc., and Henal Novelties &
Premiums Corp. Some rings were imported
from Hong Kong.
Accurate dating these
rings is very difficult. Almost all the
Billboard Magazine advertisements taken
out by vending companies list the rings
without illustrations. Dating by using
other rings, advertised during the same
era might help place them in a certain
time frame. Vending display cards that
were placed in machine will help as
well, especially mix cards that
actually showed the items physically in
the machines.
For example; rings with the ornate design on the side (as pictured above)
can be loosely dated to the
1950's-1960s, based on other popular
rings made during the same era. Metal
adjustable "white gold, silver or gold" vacuum plated, rings, can be dated to the 1960's-1970s
or later based on vending machine
display cards.
