Camco Sneex Baseball Bat

Camco. - Cambridge Rubber Company, manufacturers of casual and waterproof footwear, was based at 748 Main St., Cambridge, Massachusetts. Warren MacPherson, president founded the Cambridge Rubber Company in the early 1900's to make rubber coating for canvas automobile tops. But as all-metal tops came into fashion, he converted the business to make raincoats and canvas shoes. George H. Rockwell, Co-founder, was named vice president.

In 1926 and '27 promotions, shoe stores across the country gave away a Free baseball or bat with every pair of Camco, Sneex, rubber soled canvas sport shoes (sneakers). In 1926 one store gave away a Reach baseball bat, and a Reach junior baseball, with the Sneex sport shoes, all for $1.98. The A.H. Leathers Mfg Co. of Dickson Tennessee also made "Sneex" branded promotional bats for the Cambridge Rubber Company to promote their Camco Sneex All American Sport Shoe. The Fisher Brothers in Akron, Ohio, sold the "Very Special 'Sneex' Baseball Bats worth .65¢ limit 1.... 5¢"
