NOTES:

In 1949 and 1950, the Schutter Candy Co., makers of Old Nick and Bit-O-Honey candy bars, offered "Chain Of Champions" Key Rings. The premiums were made available for .15¢, and two Old Nick or Bit-O-Honey candy bars wrappers (or one of each). The Key Ring chain came with a baseball charm, and picture tag illustrating one of six ballplayers: Joe DiMaggio; Bob Feller; Ted Williams; Stan Musial; Jackie Robinson; and Johnny Mize.

Illustrated artwork on the 1.5 by 1.5 inch leather picture tabs were done by renown Sporting News artist Willard Mullin. A facsimile autograph accompanies each player. Girls were given the chance to send for the same autographed player tag on a "glamorous" nine- inch charm bracelet. Wallets, and pencil cases with the same artwork were also produced which were sold at stadium souvenir stands.

The Old Nick and Bit-O-Honey candy bars "Chain Of Champions" Key Ring advertisement is featured in the Oct. 1949 Harvey Comics Issue No. 4 Babe Ruth Sports Bob Feller Cover, and 1950 Harvey Comics Issue No. 9 Babe Ruth Sports Stan Musial Cover.
