No problem Clint. I definetly think your ball is the real deal. Nice pickup. I bet Raiders fans would be drooling over that ball.
Another recent pickup of mine is this group of circa 1910 college pennants. The sizes vary, mostly in the 30 inch to 45 inch range, but one of them is a mammoth and the largest pennant I have come across.
This pennant has Lincoln on it, and measures 71 inches long without its tassles (just shy of 6 feet!) and about 33 inches wide, and I picture it below next to two other normal sized Lincoln pennants.
Acually a question for Dan Bretta - I have checked every Lincoln school that I can find and none of them had Black and Red school colors, any chance of Lincoln Nebraska connection to these?
About half of the pennants (including the huge one) have circa 1910 Spalding tags on them (according to some Spalding tag guides - date to 1908-1910)
