I've had this 1925 OAL ball for a few years. The signatures have always been next to impossible to make out, but I decided to try to crack it recently. After going through AL rosters for the year, I realized that the second signature up from the bottom was Harry Hooper. That then led me to conclude that the one below Hooper's is most likely Ed Walsh.
It's obviously hard to tell, but would others agree with those conclusions? I also believe that the name on the top of the second photo is Bibb Falk (with only the Fa visible). Any guesses as to who's below Falk? Earl Sheely appears on a different panel. Many thanks in advance! Last edited by ngrow9; 08-17-2020 at 09:00 PM. |

Agreed. And two above Hooper is Bibb Falk. The rest are too difficult to see from the photos. Might have better luck with the item in hand, but that's it for now.
Edit: I missed that you already identified Falk! Last edited by BillyCoxDodgers3B; 08-17-2020 at 07:43 PM. |

While certainly not conclusive, a few of those faded fountain pen marks between Falk and Hooper strongly resemble the "vengros" formation of Mike Cvengros.

You might try a black light, might reveal some tracings you can't see under normal light.

Yes use a black light, it should reveal the indentations where the ink has disappeared.
