Established in 1856 Palm Fechteler &
Co. was a major supplier of elegant
decorations for horse-drawn carriages,
coaches, and buggies. Self proclaimed
"the largest decalcomanie manufacturing
organization in the world" the company
went on to make decals, e.g., for
commercial trucks, vehicle tag
stickers, and decals to brand your
product. Palm Fechteler produced decals
for the J. F. Hillerich & Son company
to use on its popular line of decal
bats during the period 1910 to 1915.
Palm Fechteler & Co. also went on to produce the decals for Louisville
Slugger's line of decal bats issued
around 1954, which included; the 125J,
125LL Little League decal bats. The
Mickey Mantle, and Jackie Robinson
decals featured here were used for the
125 Ebony Finish, Genuine Autographed
Louisville Slugger - Powerized baseball
bats with the "full color picture
deals" of six major league players. The
models included Ferris Fain, George
Kell, Ralph Kiner, Mickey Mantle,
Jackie Robinson and Ted Williams.
The top of these decals where it would
have read; "Genuine Louisville Slugger"
on the front, are cut off leaving the
directions on the top back of the
decals missing step 1. That portion of
the decal was probably removed by Palm,
Fechteler & Co. to sell off the
overstock they had from the Louisville
Slugger order. On the back below step 3
reads; Manufactured by, Palm Fechteler
& Co., Weehawken, N.J., Chicago S,
ILL." Followed by the Palm Fechteler &
Co Logo, and "Made In U.S.A." At the
bottom is the stock numbers used for
ordering, "ASZ-1642" (mickey Mantle)
"ASZ-1643" (Jackie Robinson) "A-7002"
