Thanks, Dave. The Web site is still a work in progress. It seems harder to keep it updated and add to it during the summer. Definitely a winter project.

Fred,

I'm probably in error on the Cracker Jack reference. I got all of those charms in one big buy of about 200 "trinkets" -- mostly all non-sports but ALL of them definitely Cracker Jack prizes -- back in the late 1970s. I say "all of them definitely Cracker Jack prizes" except maybe for these baseball charms. I was a teenager when I bought them, so I just assumed that because the other 180 or so trinkets were confirmed Cracker Jack prizes that these charms are, too. When I added them to the site, I likely wasn't thinking. I've seen bubble-gum machine cards that have these charms on them, so obviously they were available that way. I'm not convinced that they also didn't come with CJ, but do I have proof? No. I'll need to make that correction on my site.

As for the Lemon identification, I'm just not convinced that charm is Johnny Schmitz.
