lemon peel baseball real or not

[khkco4bls]

this was sent to me is it real or not I'm kind of skeptical seeing the string through it like it's very hard.you would think a one-piece ball like this would be soft. plus the stitching looks so good and the color is off to me

Looks modern made to me. Just my opinion.

looks modern/repro

I definitely don't think it's a lemon peel ball from the time period (pre 1880s). I'm sure it's a modern reproduction. Also, you said somebody sent it to you....was it a gift? Didn't the person who sent it to you give you any background?

[khkco4bls]

no just sent me the photos looking for information on it

I would vote reproduction as well...

and no weight or dimensions given but a few red flags even without ball in hand and independent of the aforementioned...
