Picked this up recently at an antique show. As you can see, it's a little smaller than a modern ball and it is a little softer. Any idea how old it is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

more pictures would help but according to the stitching that I could see possibly 1890 S

Kevin, I am not very good dating balls. What about the stitching tells you 1890s?

Thanks for the response. I've posted additional pics if that helps. There are no marking are the ball and the quality looks pretty good. Any help would be appreciated.

just by the way the stitching seems to be interwieved not like a standard ball where they come together
