These balls are often misdated, as there is no way to know for sure, and are often dated earlier than they are. Just because some past auction said 1830s doesn't make it so, as I expect that AH has little basis to date it and was just guessing. Your ball has clear markings which date it later, as we have pointed out to you.

Those balls and yours are mis-dated. They are probably 1870s. Yours probably 1880s 1890. Belt styles were not made in the 1830s. Baseballs to me start around 1840s. You have lemon peels (one piece of leather, and 4,5,6,pieces, points on top and bottom ) belt styles folled. Then figure eights.

of early baseballs - types that follow the evolution of styles. I think the advertising makes your ball quite special because it helps to suggest a story within a story - literally reiterating the concepts of it's homemade construction.
As others have suggested your ball isn't from the 1830's - likely NOT put together before the late 1870's and more likely in the 1890's as they usually used shoes until they wore out :-) While the figure 8 ball was already in use in the 90's (and earlier) - not so easy to fabricate at home and there's always a lag time between styles coming and going...... |
