Organization Description

Spalding, founded in 1876 Chicago, is most noted for its baseball and golf offerings, as well as the pink "Spaldeen" high bouncing ball favored by city stickball players, appears to have briefly ventured into backgammon equipment as part of its overall "sportsman" brand -- similar to Abercrombie & Fitch but more dedicated to the athletic sphere. Their famous New York store would surely have offered a variety of quality backgammon sets.
