This is where the glove get their stamping, flattened out of course.
This was taken on a trip to Nocona at the old plant in 2002. But it shows
a good view of the hot stamper.

you mean they got anocoN backwards? You should have seen the machines we had to work with back in the 1930s.
Next they'll be embroidering the names with gold lame.

Why does everyone spell Nokona with a C?

[No-Lite-Toe]

Why does everyone spell Nokona with a C?

Correct me if I'm wrong Joe, but isn't it because the town is Nocona, but the company could not trademark the name of a city, so they changed it to Nokona for the company.

[softball66]

Yes, the town and the company name are spelled with a "C", but because one cannot trademark a name that is the name of a city, in this case the name of Nocona, Texaas, then it was changed to Nokona. The products, gloves, bats, etc. are spelled with a "k".

Someone should have changed their last name to Nocona, then they wouldn't have needed to change the spelling. You can name a company after a person whether it's a city or not. There' a Rawlings, MD and a lot of Wilsons- NY, NC, WI, TN.
