Can anyone identify this ball? At first glance I thought it read AMERICAN LEAGUE BALL above HORSEHIDE COVER. It may actually read AMATEUR LEAGUE BALL. A little too dirty to be sure. Blue and red alternating stitching. I don't see a Reach or Spalding stamp; nor do I see any President's signature. Ball seems to
feel right (i.e. - regulation size and weight). All I am sure of is that it is indeed a baseball, it smells like an antique store and I won't let man's best friend fetch it. Although I did obtain it on St. Patrick's Day, I am not Irish...and my recent ridiculously great luck of ball finds just can't continue like it has...so I am exercising caution before I get excited about this one.
Please check out the pics.
Have you seen one like this before?
What is it?
Who made it?
Value?
Thanks again.
