NOTES:
 
   Sometime during the mid 1950's the National Hygienic Products Corporation, of New York, marketed "Champ Prophylactics." Four different packet designs were produced, each depicting "Champs" of four sports, Golf, Football, Boxing, and baseball. The boxing packets are believed to be an artistic likeness of boxer Jack Dempsey, and the baseball packet Ted Williams. The unauthorized use of Ted's image is similar to the one used on his 1954 Topps card #250. Williams never endorsed or received any royalties from the Nat. Hygienic Prod's Corp., but it was reported that he still got a chuckle out of it when asked to sign a packet.

 Packets of 3, Champ Prophylactics cost .25 cents, and $1.00 a dozen, with 4 packets that came wrapped in a cardboard sleeve, which also featured the Ted Williams artistic likeness. The product was more than likely produced between the earlier part of 1955-1962. During this time the company place newspaper ads, looking for distributers. The back of the packet has the manufacture's address without a Zip-code predating it to 1962. Condom advertising was still in the closet, and illegal until a Supreme Court decision in 1977, so finding an ad to accurately date the Champ Prophylactics would be nearly impossible.
