ah ha. one piece lemonpeel.
little rough and rudimentary in making, but looks to be the real deal from here.

The lemon peel looks legit to me, and its always speculation as to age, but I would say 1860's or so. It's nice its a one piece leather ball, and while has some moderate condition issues, I would say it's value is somewhere around $500 or so.
I haven't seen cork balls in that dark toned leather before, but I could be wrong. My guess would be a rudimentary 1880's figure 8 ball, likely used in children baseball games (or similar stick and ball games). Value on that one I would say $50-$100.

I would agree with Keith on both counts....

Legit Lemon Peel and Rudimentary 1880s Figure 8 Ball. Both appear legit, and a are nice examples. But I might state a higher bvalue for the early Figure 8... Perhaps $150 - $200 for that one, IMO.

Both appear to be old and original and as suggested above.
LP - 350.-450.
SB - 50.-75.

As for the "other" ball - I think it's for the game of fives.
FB - 25.-75.

No guarantees whether written or implied.
