Thanks for your input, Michael! Didn't want to suggest any interpretations of those barely visible sigs
and thereby mislead anybody, but since it's not getting a lot of looks anyway...
We could see "Lou," or "Lew," or "Leon" (!) at the top...
Not even sure there is a second auto between that and the one that runs across the center...
The one running across the middle, though, looks to us like "Earl Saturn" or "Carl Setuant"...
And at the very bottom, maybe a childlike stab at "--be Ruth."
We'd be content just getting a reliable estimate on the age of the ball. Haven't been able to find
a Reach model labelled "Special League," but we suspect it's a post-War model, and just the kind of thing
you'd get from the cheap bin in the sporting goods store.
