Info needed about old football
 

Thanks for reading. My father pulled this old football out a trunk last night that he had rediscovered a few nights earlier. It was a gift from his father when he was a kid but doesn't know anything else about it. I am unable to give him any info, not baseball. Can someone tell me anything I can pass along to him? Not sure what the manufacturer printed is as it's too worn off.

Thanks Craig

Not certain, but I think I can make out the familiar "Wilson" in script up close to the laces in the second photo.

I thought Wilson as well but don't know football well enough. Wondering about era. My dad was born in '44. If I have to guess, he got it between '52-'58, when his father passed. He did have two older brothers.
