"A History Of Baseball" placemats were produced
in 1964 by the Jay-Dee Co. which was
located in Brooklyn New York. Jay-Dee
Co. was a manufacturer of place mats,
straws, and other restaurant related
products. This placemat was produced
for Linton's Friendly restaurant.
Linton's had 26 locations at one time
in the Philadelphia area. Unable to
compete with fast-food chains, and
reduced to 13 restaurants Linton's
filed for bankruptcy in 1978.
The blue and red print, "A History Of Baseball" placemat depicts a 19th
century, and a modern day ballplayer,
with a stadium background. It lists
Baseballs World Championships from 1903
to 1963. Below, lists Hall Of Fame
inductees, from 1936 to 1964; "In
cooperation with National Baseball Hall
of Fame and Museum, Inc. Cooperstown,
New York." To the left Reads:
"BASEBALL HALL OF FAME - There are 101 of baseballs all-time best in
the shrine at Cooperstown, N.Y. Some
obtain immortality by a vote of the
baseball writers' Association of
America, others were tapped by a
special committee on veterans. No
player is eligible for admission until
he has been retired for a minimum of
five years. He must then require at
least 75% of the annual vote of the
baseball writers. The old-timers'
committee passes judgment on those who
have been retired for 20 years. Here is
a list of those who have been honored
to date by being inducted in the shrine
of baseball"
The placemat has a "©
Jay Dee Products Co. Inc. Bklyn. N.Y."
in the lower left corner. Another
baseball themed placemat produced by
Jay Dee Products is the Baseball
"Quikee Quiz" placemat
(pictured below) credited to "One for
the Book" published by The Sporting
News.
