2 LEATHER BASEBALLS The Spinneybeck link to this story must seem entirely overlooked; but not so. There is a direct connection. At that mid-1980's era NEOCON Show, I was stationed in the Baker "Contract" showroom on the 9th Floor of The Merchandise Mart. As I greeted people coming into our showroom, the most ubiquitous promotional item seemed to be in everybody's hand. It was Spinneybeck's contribution to the nomenclature of an already well-energized and highly designed international trade show. It was a simple baseball, made of Spinneybeck leather, in a luxurious but bright color of red very similar to that hide covering our two red club chairs.I remember the baseballs as being made both in this red, but I also have a vague recollection of the balls also being done in a strong combination of red and coal black leather. I've always recalled that Spinneybeck promotion vividly. The handing out of real and otherwise apparently authentic baseballs made of their signature red leather, is one I remember as one of the most fun and most effective I've ever seen in the furniture business. Spinneybeck's international profile was elevated substantially, orders grew, and even today the Spinneybeck baseballs are now available as collector's items on the Spinneybeck website.Peter KelleyMassModern GalleryJune 2009SPINNEYBECK blue with white stitching
