Wow, I've never seen that one before either. What designs are on the t-shirts with that tag?

ahhh, ok - probably mid-late 1960s - I believe that's when ringers first appeared? Does anyone know when ringers were invented? I know they were huge in the 70s, but what decade were they conceived?

I'm gonna have to add that image to:

I would say 70s

It seems like ringers didn't come around until the 70s

I'm sorry i can't help with the date of this particular shirt, but the mid 60's first gave birth to a beautiful, bouncing, baby ringer boy (or girl).

Yep! I worked at Velva-Sheen in Montgomery, Ohio during my Christmas and summer breaks in 1965-to 1967. Later the factory would be finished in Fairfax, Ohio. My best friend's father was part owner of the company (William and Bob Rielly).
They sold the bus to Beatrice Foods sometime later. I have many great memories of my days there working in the printing, shipping and receiving and finally in sales. It felt like being apart of a family the way that Bill treated everyone and it remains a dear memory to me even today some 48 years later.

Awesome! Got any old Velva Sheen shirts in the closet? :D

Seriously though, do you happen to have any old Velva Sheen letterhead, or brocures, or coffee mugs or pens or anyhing? I collect that kind of stuff.
