These
7/8 inch baseball team logo vending
buttons were made by Samuel Eppy & Co. Inc. located in Jamaica,
Queens, N.Y.C. One of the largest
manufactures of vending machine charms,
Samuel Eppy might have also
manufactured the 1961-1969 Guy's and
Crane Potato Chips premium Buttons. The
buttons are the same size, use the same logo designs, and also features the "Made In U.S.A." printing along the rim instead of a
manufacture credit line. Both the
Guy's and Crane Potato Chips premium
pins can be identified by the
printing on the back.
The Samuel Eppy "Big
League Baseball Club Picture buttons,"
as they were advertised in the 1956 ad
below, were made to be placed in
capsules, and dispensed in vending
machines. (Gumball
Machines) These
buttons that predate the potato chip
premiums, are exactly the same but have
a "Safety Lock." The back of the Eppy
pins were left blank, as were the 1962
Guy's Potato Chips buttons, but the
safety lock, separates the two.
