1952 Stan Musial Star-Cal Decals Code 93-A - A pair of 1952 Meyercord Star-Cal water-transfer decals featuring Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals in two dynamic batting poses, marked Code 93-A for commercial use. The decals are printed on the original backing sheet with applied autograph facsimiles beneath each image and retain the complete instruction panel on the reverse. Meyercord's Star-Cal decals were designed for transfer onto ceramics, glassware, and other surfaces through a straightforward water-dipping process. This particular sheet represents an early postwar sports merchandising item from an era when such transfer decals were a popular way for manufacturers to add player imagery to household goods. The piece shows age-appropriate yellowing and surface wear consistent with storage over seven decades, with the original instructions and manufacturing details still legible.
