Hank,

Can you post the Baltimore tabs you picked up...or were they the same?

Not sure but I think you fold the tab and the opening and insert it
The Angels tab is the other tough one

The tabs aren't long enough for that, I think it's something else. And on some it look like the sides are meant to be folded in, but on others there's not enough to fold. I really can't figure it out what you're supposed to do with these. I wonder if anyone has the original packaging which might have a diagram.

On the ones with tabs and slots, you would fold the tab over a shirt pocket or through a button hole and then “chain” others below, through the slots.

Wow, would never have imagined that, thanks! How did you know? And what about the ones with tab-like sides, those aren't meant to be folded at all? They sure look like it!

Any way you’d part with the lesser conditioned Orioles tab?

Yes, PM me.

I have some extra of the Bob Gibson I would trade or sell.

The Giants players were included in packs of Armour hot dogs in 1958.

I also have the Giants team tab bocca posted. He believes it was done by Armour. I'm not so sure...

Well, I don't know anything about the team tabs and Armour products, but both sets of tabs seem to have been manufactured by the same maker. The Giants and team tabs are the same size, shape(s), and material. The team tabs are 5+ years older.
