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.

I'm curious. I know nothing about antique baseballs. How hard is it compared to a modern ball?

It's pretty hard but not as hard as a new one in my opinion.

Aloha! I don't know anything about baseballs but could you weigh it? Very interesting 8 1/2 " around. Looks in great shape for 1880 but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Nice find. Now tell me you bought it for .50cents at a garage sale. Aloha, Dave.
