Need help dating this "Victor League" baseball...
It has the "Victor Sporting Goods Co." trademark, and green and orange-red stitching. I know this particular ball pre-dates 1920.
I found the following info online: "It seems to be the practice of manufacturers of high grade baseballs of the kind termed "league balls" to have their ball adopted by some league, and then call their ball an "Official League Ball". Thus, a ball of the Victor Sporting Goods Company is called "Official Victor League Ball". Can an approximate date or range of dates be determined for when this ball could have been produced, based on the stitching and logo, etc? Thanks.

I would say right around 1915. Victor was the supplier of the Federal Leagues for baseballs...those baseballs are highly sought after and very expensive. Your ball as it sits I would guess is a $300-$500 baseball.. on the higher side if you have the box.
Edited to add: the above is a bit ambiguous...your ball is NOT a Federal League baseball...those balls are identified as such. Almost all manufacturers put "_______ League" on their highest quality ball whether they were associated with a league or not.
