Need Help Dating Vintage Goldsmith Baseball
 I cannot find anything like it. My best guess is WW2 era 1944-1945 but I really don't know for sure. The cc after "97". Never seen that before on another Goldsmith ball. The patent information below "cushioned cork center". Never seen that before. I am not sure when Macgregor took over and started stamping these as Macgregor Goldsmith. I believe that was late 1940's but could be wrong. I am also not sure when the 97 changed over to cushioned cork, or if it was always available with cushioned cork or rubber. The earliest cushion cork 97 ball I could find dates to around 1945. Finally, the red lacing. I think the 97 examples that I have seen have red and black alternating lacing through about 1940. Was it available with red only before then? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tom C
