Spalding baseball in box - help with date
 

I've had this sealed Spalding baseball in box for a few years and went to find some info online about dating it. I found no baseball boxes exactly like this one. Its sealed and I would call the box mint. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I dont collect vintage baseballs but a quick search for "official Spalding sc baseball " bought up this image same box type but baseball inside is different. Hope this helps.

Appreciate the reply Jonathan! I saw that box as well but again its slightly different. Not sure if Spalding used this box for several year period say late 1940s-early 1950s or it can somehow be pinpointed down further. Not planning on opening it to see what exactly the baseball looks like;)

I dont collect Baseballs do you know what an "sc" baseball is? Most of the descriptions are straight forward like Eastern league ball etc. Not sure I have ever seen an SC ball.

I dont know what sc may refer to. Like you said, all the boxes I can find have it printed on the box itself "national league", "international league" or similar. There is no such identification of this box.

A hint to the ball's intended audience is probably the Spanish text on the box, with the ball likely produced originally for use in Mexico.

It most closely resembles the box that Spalding used for their ONL baseballs from 1947 to 1957, although those have the text "THE ADOPTED BALL OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE" where yours has "FAMOUS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD." I would side with Brent on this one that your ball was produced for use in Mexico or South America in that timeframe, though what specific league or other specification the "SC" may be referring to, I do not know. I have previously had a similar situation with sealed balls in which the box was very very similar to the Official National League, which I surmised had to do with them being specifically for use in Canada (see images below).

Most of the various minor league balls produced over the years tend to have very similar if not identical packaging to the manufacturer's ONL or OAL counterparts, which can be useful for narrowing down the timeframe for their manufacture and use. There are likely more tell-tale signs on the ball itself, which I would be curious to see, but I can understand you not wanting to break the seal.

Thanks again for the info guys! Makes sense. If the ball was yours would you open it?

As I said before I dont collect baseballs but I am under self quarantine like most of tri state area and have plenty of time to google search and came up with 2 similar boxes. Both of them have the same text on the patent registration panel. it could be that all 3 were made for use in Mexico. But then why only one panel in spanish.
As you can see one box is for a Frick National leauge ball. I would think that is the packaging used for all National league balls in that timeframe.
But still left with mystery of what is an SC ball?
