early ball maybe 1910-1920, they mention cork center through the 1920s as well with some issues. I would say no older than the above, but some research would help with the exact date

1950's into the 60's. The overall aesthetic is very mid century but the "Made in USA" stamp is the telltale sign.

thanks guys...two pretty different opinions...I'll have to say, I hope it is from the 40's...:)

It could be from the late 40's. That Reach logo came into use on AL balls around 1946.

Okay,

I found one of my baseballs that I sold and added it below, the ball is from the 1930s/40s and does have Made in USA stamped - earlier baseballs do have different markings very similar to how you date bats.

so William is most likley correct 1940s
