My lone WWII item is a 1945 (approx) US Navy multi-signed ball. From my research it has the following signers:
Sweet Spot: None
Panel 1: Mickey Vernon (Senators, Indians, Red Sox), Del Ennis (Phillies, Cardinals), Mike Budnick (Giants)
Panel 2: Lou Tost (Boston Braves, Pirates), Sherry Robertson (Senators, A's), Fred Chapman (A's), Manny Fernandez (catcher, NAS Honolulu Crossroaders Hawaii 1945), Gil "Gibby" Brack (Brooklyn Dodgers, Phillies)
Panel 3: Connie Ryan (Giants, Braves, Reds), Steve "Red' Tramback (5 ABs for 1940 NY Giants)
Panel 4: Bud Blattner (St Louis Cardinals, Giants, Phillies, later announcer for Browns, Cardinals, Angels, Royals), Red McQuillen (St Louis Browns), Frank Wolf (?), Dick West (Reds)
Ball: Official League; has U.S.N. stamping
