Swag from yesteryear... Do you still have numismatic swag from the 50,60's&70's?

Well all my life Ive have spent in the food business. Back in the day sales reps. Would drop by the stores and lay a little swag on you! Or a company would have a contest for sales.
I even know a scrapple company that took store and meat managers out fishing on a charter trip!
Years went on and companies began to put a halt to getting gifts or items as such.
All the sweet stuff was banned from being given away,and pens , pocket cutters,hats,took the place of some very nice swag items.
Lets see those items if you still have them laying around the house.
Let me image a few of mine and post.


This one ounce Credit Suisse was from a cheese company for selling swiss cheese. I just looked up this old bar. Has a low sn # and to my knowledge came about in the mid and early 1970's.I also recieved a 24kt gold 5 gr. Bar on a loop.,a swiss army knife and about 14 lbs of cheese.

I guess companies deceided if the ceo's could get their swag ....the workers wouldn't either.
But it is very understandable ,as over the years swag got better.....and ethics got tighter.

Used to get swag at business shows and from some vendors....nothing numismatic. But did get some good British coins from guys at our subsidiary in England. Cheers, RickO
