Vintage Ball Signed, Auto Help?

what kind of black light do you use? I bought a 60 watt bulb for a clamp lamp but it does not work on my old balls? By the way no pun intended but I'm sure someone will.

Are you sure it's a true "black light" (longwave uv light)? A lot of the supposed black light bulbs that fit standard light sockets are just purple "party lights" and not true black lights. The key term to look for is "longwave uv"

. . . I would be interested in knowing what specific light is being used too. Absolutely amazing how that light brings out some of the lightest signatures. I would love to add one for use with my autograph collection. Very cool.

As was suggested above, Braves Field was under construction still in the first half of 1915 and didn't open until August, so the Braves played the first four months of the 1915 season at Fenway Park.

So it would make total sense that a 1915 Braves team would sign an American League ball. Very cool!!
