Hey Kevin, hope you are well. Cool ball. I checked the catalogs I have on my site and I first see the Double Seam ball listed in 1894 but it is a listing only with no picture. I pulled this pic from the 1896 Spalding catalog (top left). Hope it helps.

From Bushing and Phillips "Vintage Base Balls" guide, no doubt similarly scanned from a catalog. Not the earliest example obviously, but a good clear image/illustration.

I've never seen one of these before except in a catalogue - what were they meant for and who used them? Does the double seam make them more durable?
