Here is another picture of the ball. Did I put this in the wrong section or something? Does anyone know anything about the ball? Thanks, Kenny.

What is the circumference of the ball?

Neat looking ball - Sort of a hybrid figure 8 ball. I would guess its from the 1880's or so. What is the circumference?

I measured it at 8 and a half inches around with a shoe string.

That is an interesting design. I'm not expert, but I'd guess 1880s or maybe even earlier. It's unusual stitching patter no doubt adds to its value as rare styles are worth more.
