Here's another view of the ball. There is a piece of leather missing from the top. I took this picture at its worst angle.

I agree that this is probably an early figure eight ball. Its circumference is about 8". Although I don't have a way to measure its weight, I would say it's not very different from today's standard ball. Maybe a little bit lighter. I bought this as a package with a Spalding Ring Bat, so I can't say for sure what I paid for it.
