Sutton Associates Ltd.; 200 Fifth
Avenue, New York, NY 10010 was a
Manufacturer, distributor and importer
of merchandising products. In 1974
Sutton produced officially licensed,
Major League Baseball, Transistor Solid
State radios for all 24 teams. Team
insignias were displayed along the
perimeter of the box which housed the
radio.
The 1960's psychedelic style box cover seems to have been designed by
American commercial illustrator Bob
Peak. Best known for his designs on the
1969
"Baseball The First 100 Years"
official centennial record cover, Peak
also received a commission from the U.S.
Postal Service to design stamps for the
1984 Summer & Winter Olympics.
As advertised by Mays department
