This doesn't help clarify anything but part of my interest is due to the nature of the whole Charles Daly enterprise (separate from SD&G). I spent my career in the sporting goods trade and was involved with branding, private labelling and licensing deals. Spalding, Dunlop, Etonic, Slazenger to name a few. The CD brand is a very early example of private labelling......something that is commonplace now across all consumer products. And watching the CD brand transition from being an in house private label, nurtured by it's owners, to simply a brand name slapped on whatever product hits the ever decreasing target price point is the very history of brand licensing.
I seem to recall Mr Fink being mentioned in the GGCA reprint of Charles Daly articles.
