I picked this one up at a barn sale this weekend... Ball is pretty beat up and somewhat soft... It actually feels a little misshapen (its scene quite a bit of use).. The thing that grabbed me about it was the seems... Upon close inspection you can see that they are alternating Red and Green...
Any ideas as to the age of this one? or value (if any)?
I appreciate the help

Looks like it has a nice patina to it, but if you can't read any stamping on it and you have to look closely to see that it's red/blue stitching then it's not worth a whole lot. I'd say $10-$20.

No stamping, but the laces are alternating red and bluish green...

Ball was used in the Huge match between the Red Stockings and the Atlantics. PRICELESS
