Description:
You are looking at the very rare R79 Leader Novelty Candy Co. disc #98 - NYU. This is the only known basketball-themed disc in the set. Occasionally mistaken for the Sealcraft R123 disc, these discs are probably more rare and don't have holes in them. Burdick compared these discs to the Sealcraft disc in the American Card Catalog and said they were 2 1/8" in diameter. Actually, they are 2 3/16", but I appreciate the fact they are documented. The year is not documented on these presently. The 1930s is the best guess. An odd fact is that only discs from approximately #52 through #107 are documented for this set, and it appears that starting around #90 is where you start to see the pennant design similar to this NYU disc.
