The "Official Trade Mark" logo on
this baseball was used by Worth Inc. AKA Lannom Manufacturing Co. Inc., the
original name of the Worth company. The
"Official Trade Mark" logo was used by Worth from
at least as far back as the1930's, and
as recent as the 1980's. This generic
"Official Trade Mark" logo was
also used on
baseballs that the Worth company
produced for other companies, without a
manufacturer stamp. Baseballs
include: "Don Larsen's Series Special,"
"Mel Stottlemyre Official League," and
the "Lou Boudreau official league ."
Founded by George Sharp Lannom Jr. in 1912 as Lannom Manufacturing
Company. A producer of leather horse
collars and harnesses, Lannom developed
a sporting goods line in order to
utilize his tannery. Expanding the
business in 1921 they added helmets,
basketballs, baseballs and later
softballs. Naming the line "Worth,"
Lannom created the slogan "Another Name
for Value" After operating under the
Lannom Manufacturing Co. Inc of
Tullahoma for 75 years, the company
name was changed to Worth Inc. in 1987,
to strengthen its corporate identity in
the sporting equipment industry. The
Worth Inc. operating divisions are
Worth Bat Co, Worth Sports Co.. Worth
Ball Co. and Worth Accessories Co., as
well as Lannom Tannery.
