Can anyone help me date this baseball?
Had this ball for a few months now and am just getting around to it.
I am trying to date it, and have narrowed it down to 1926-35? Any Ideas? Also a estimated value range? Thanks Fellas (and ladies). https://sportscardalbum.com/c/00y2n730.JPG https://sportscardalbum.com/c/7d64570a.JPG https://sportscardalbum.com/c/9i89971d.JPG https://sportscardalbum.com/c/43133c31.JPG https://sportscardalbum.com/c/y82kc5sx.JPG |
Best I can do is to shave a couple years off the back end of your range. They moved to all red stitching in 1934, so this ball is between 1926-1933. Can you figure out the name of the International League President? Many search what years he was in the position and cross reference that with the 1926-1933 range and see if that might narrow it further.

Wouldn't the Patent # give away the year?
If it's the other thing, just be yourself and enjoy your time with the ball. No pressure.:D |

Date of ball
The ball is 1928-1930.
|
JC Toole was president of the International League in 1928.
As far as I know, Charles H. Knapp was voted in as a sort of interim leader of the league for 1929, after the death of Toole in February, and was not made president officially until December of 1929. |
If that is true, then the ball can be dated definitively to 1930 based on its stitching.
