That is the auto of 19th century player John Lovebunny. If you look at the signature, it clearly shows a HEART and then a RABBIT, which is how John always signed. The ball has all of the markings of typical game use from a late 1880's game (such as that blue rectangle-thing), and the pen used is obviously of the period.
Can't believe this one slipped past you, Richard. Guess I'll start sending all of my business to one of the "other guys"...
