Special Notes: Generously donated to the Flying Disc Museum by Dan and Pete Cashen. While not 100% certain, it is believed this disc was made by Brand X. It appears to be the same mold used by AMF Voit for its Vector K9 disc, but AMF Voit bought molds from multiple suppliers (e.g. Brand X, Destiny/Dynamic Disc). So while it could have been made by AMF Voit, Brand X was in the business of creating promotional discs so it stands to reason this was made while Brand X owned the mold. The disc is made of hard plastic with a flat top plate, good for promotional messaging. There are multiply configurations of the bottom tooling. On this disc, there is a slightly raised area on the bottom that measures 3.875" wide by .75 inches tall. In the middle is tooling that says MADE IN USA. On the opposite side is a .875 diameter injection port. There are 2 large nipples parallel to the raised area near the edges. They are flat top fastback like discs with 3 flight rings near the top and three more near the rim.
