Hi Dan,
I'm quite certain that Goldsmith used the black and red stitching in 1939 as well.
After Vander Meer's unprecedented back-to-back no-hitters in 1938, Goldsmith signed Vandy to a lucrative endorsement deal that debuted in the 1939 season.
The 1939 version of their Official League ball w/ Vandy had black and red stitching. In 1940 or 1941 they went to all red stitching. I believe that the transition year was 1940, FWIW.
