It appears the seal changed over time from a number of Indians to one, and from more threatening to less threatening postures; it appears you could indeed set a more precise date on that ball. I now wish I bid more. I was at 2k. I do not think there is another piece of baseball memorabilia from the true West depicting true then-contemporary Indians. It is a very very cool piece. If it were mine, I would pay $1500 to have the dents expertly removed, and I actually would have it professionally cleaned, so that the patina might age more evenly. If someone on this forum purchased the ball, and is looking for a quick profit, please PM me.
