Is it real or Memorex? If real, value? TIA

Real,
very common, and on that unofficial ball, I'd only pay about 8-10 bucks.

Even Steiner authenticated Snider balls only sell for like $25. He has signed non-stop for 50 years. There's no rarity, just nostalgia.

Duke actually signs for free through the mail too - great signer and a great player.

Back in the late 70s when I was a teenager, I set up a table at a card show in Fallbrook, CA. Duke just happened to be signing at the table next to me. At the end of the day I asked him to sign a photo and inscribe it with "To Chris, the greatest pitcher I ever faced, your friend, Duke Snider." He graciously signed the inscription and he's been one of my heroes ever since ...

I highly recommend Duke's book, The Duke of Flatbush
I've been a Brooklyn fan ever since reading it 20 years ago.
