I had in passing noticed the increase of those balls for sale, including super rare types like the belt ball, but don't collect them so didn't think much about the issue. But, yes, the population increase did stand out to me.
Off hand and as someone who can barely sew a hole in his jeans, I wonder if you can date the sewing. I would think the the stress and strain over a century would show wear and signs that wouldn't appear on recent sewing.
