Reach logo
Here is a picture of the Reach logo that appears on the baseball, showing the logo was at least used by Reach in 1939. Of course this dosn't mean the ball wasn't made later using an old logo.
The ball came with signatures of Bill Gardner and Paul Blair. I purchased the item because I like the baseball, not because I was interested in the signatures. I was hoping the signatures could give me an idea of the age of the ball. The auction listing stated the ball was signed by two Orioles. Gardner was with the Orioles in 1958 and 1959, and but Blair did start with the team until 1964 so i don't think the signatures help to date the ball much.
