[QUOTE=BaltOrioles;1985251]Schmidt Baking Company is a bakery in Baltimore. The company makes Schmidt's Blue Ribbon and Schmidt's Old Tyme Breads. Maybe some Baltimore locals can tell us more about them. I've never seen any of their products in Maine.
I'm not positive of the year, but guessing between 1967-1969, Schmidt Baking had a promotion featuring Frank Robinson. The promotion included a couple 3 inch pinback buttons and a baseball tips booklet.
Good morning Alan,
I just picked up that Frank Robinson booklet last week. It came from a gentleman who was the original purchaser in a bag of Schmidt's Bread. He said the booklet was just crammed into the bread bag without any other wrapping, so his was a little stained. He also vaguely recalled the bread tasting a little odd with a booklet jammed into it.
He couldn't remember the exact year but gave the same range as you. As for Schmidt's, they've been selling bread in Baltimore since the 1880's (although the company is owned by H&S Baking now).
