Anyone have background/history that they could share? It's described as a 1945 World Series - Detroit Tigers vs. Chicago Cubs 5" Disc. But I'm curious to know who issued it, etc.

I’ve had one for some time but can’t give you any help on who made it or anything about it. I just assumed some enterprising person had them made up right before the WS and sold them outside one or both ballparks before games. It says they are copyrighted, but nothing else.
