One is similar to the one the playground ball without the markings Joe posted and the other one is similar to the one Alan posted. I would not have thought this would have been for the indoor game because my circumference is only about 12". Am I correct in thinking both of these are old playground balls and this one not indoor? Thanks.

I am really not sure. I have several common oversized balls, 12” or 14”, that have out seams or regular seams. I always assumed they were “Mush” balls or just softballs used for softball or recreational use. Google "Mush Ball baseball” or “debeer clincher” and you will see many softballs that look just like vintage balls. Some balls that look like they would be quite old, are just clincher softballs.
