NOTES:
 
   The Dallas based Mickey Mantle's Country Cookin' franchise opened it's first restaurant in December of 1968 in Longview Texas. The prototype restaurant located in San Antonio opened in March 1968 as Mickey Mantle's Country Kitchen; but a Minneapolis-based franchise chain, Country Kitchen international owned the name since 1939, and brought suit against Mickey Mantle. In agreement with the settlement, the name was changed to Mickey Mantle's Country Cookin'..

 Mickey Mantle was named chairman of the board of ten restaurants and drew a yearly salary of $100,000. Mantle was fired late in 1969 after the stock plummeted from $15.00 a share to $2.00. Despite coming up with the advertising slogan: "To get a better piece of chicken You'd have to be a rooster," Mantle officially resigned in 1970. Mickey Mantle's Country Cookin' Inc. then changed it's name to Invesco International and closed all of it's 11 locations to make a new start in the firms restaurant operations.

 The six piece table settings and the coffee mug were made by Shenango China U.S.A. The bottom of each plate and mug features the Shenango China U.S.A. makers mark. Along with the mark is a code which signifies the year made. T-27, and H-27 were made in 1969, G-26 was made in 1968. "Mickey Mantle's Country Kitchen" plates from the original prototype restaurant in San Antonio have surfaced into the hobby but are extremely rare.

 The full six piece Mickey Mantle's Country Cookin' table set consist of; 1 - 9.75 inch dinner plate, 1- 9 inch soup bowl, 1 - 7 inch plate, 1 - 6 inch salad bowl, 1 - 7.25 oblong bread plate, and 1 - 4.75 vegetable dish. The coffee mug holds 1 cup of liquid.
