MSA
(Michael Schechter Associates)
produced these discs, which varied
in size but were usually over
3" in diameter, for many
companies starting in 1976. Some are
as common as nails and other are
very scarce. The backs of the discs
featured an advertisement for the
company who gave them out. Sponsors
for 1976 include Buckman's Ice
Cream, Carousel Snack Bars, Crane's
Potato Chips, Dairy Isle,
Isaly's/Sweet William, Orbakers, Red
Barn Family Restaurants, Safelong
Lunchbags, Towne Club Pop Centers,
and Wiffle Ball. Discs with blank
backs can be found as well as ones
with a custom stamp. |
