Not sure what time frame these Sears, Roebuck and Co weights comes from so any info would be greatly appreciated. |
Early to mid 60s most likely. Sears signed Ted Williams in 1962 to endorse their wide range of "outdoor sports" products after his retirement. So his name/signature is on Sears branded tents, guns, bicycles, weight sets, fishing equipment and of course, Sears model baseball equipment.
Here's a short vintage SI article about his endorsement signing:
