D&M Baseball (Red & Green Threads)

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Ray</b><p>All,<br><br>Went to the auction again today and bought this odd baseball. I did so more cause of the older Green and red threading. It is an old D&amp;M Baseball &quot;Official League Ball&quot; but thought this ball style was more 30's or 40's but on the sweet spot it is dated 1903 and above it states Monticello - then the team name has worn off. There is a name &quot;Claude Lanman&quot; under 1903. Is this ball really that old? I am suspicious. I paid $20 for it so no great shakes. <br><br>Thanks!!

Posted By: <b>Ray</b><p>Dan,<br><br>Truth is that I have been going to this auction every two weeks for the past two years and normally leave empty handed or purchase some under-bidded silver pieces/coins. Only the past two were there any cool baseball items to speak of. The Spalding Trophy was buried on a shelf with a ton of old lamps (none sports related) and glassware. The ball was on a table mixed in (again) with glassware.<br><br>- Ray

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I love coming across auctions like that. I used to regularly attend a weekly consignment auction, but it's now on a day I have to work, so some other lucky schlub is getting all the deals.
