I've got two of them that I picked up on Ebay about 10-12 years ago, very cheap. They have since just about disappeared. The Ruth estate blocked their use of the Babe's image on their sacks and the company went out of business.
There is also a similar burlap sack from the Kundert potato company in California that has Ted Williams' image on the sack. The the owner of the company died and the company went out of business in the 70's. there is another potato company under the same family name (Kundert farms in Edison, CA). Is anyone familiar with this sack?
