Hey Alan,
I hope all is well... and that wasn't boring at all! As you mentioned, it's fascinating what can still be found out there, and I love hearing how items are found. A nice lemon peel is definitely on my want list, and those are beauties, congrats! .... hopefully we'll be able to chat again at the Boston Shriners Show when it resumes down the road.

That last ball appears to be an internal stitched lemon peel ball, but I wouldn't be sure without seeing it in person. Here is one with some internal stitching.

Thank you guys! Brent, it will be great to see you again at a Wilmington in the future. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Bruce, thank you for the compliments and thank you for the trade recently. Gary, your ball is in amazing condition! I had read about internal stitching but I thought there would always be some outer stitching to finish the ball. I will try to post better photos this weekend.
Alan

Alan- I'm glad you started this thread. Maybe we'll get to see some other examples. You've got a nice collection started.

I'll post a few of mine. Will split them into 2 posts, due to file size....
Below are some early Figure 8s, Belt Balls, Lemon Peels, and Hybrids. The 4th one pictured (which came from REA) is perhaps the missing link between the Lemon Peel and the Figure 8. Depending on the viewing angle, it is actually both!

The Boss
Hey Gary,
I think your lemon peel is called “The Boss”? I believe I have an 1884 hardware store sporting catalog with that exact stitching pattern. We are out of town. I can copy it and email it to you when we return in a week if you’d like. Quote:

That sounds good, John. Great images and a great collection. Let me know before you are going to downsize so I can start saving my pennies!

OutThis is kind of what's left of my collection after I moved four years ago and sold everything else pretty much. The first one is a very rare William Read & Sons salesman's sample
