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!

Very cool Mark! Thank you for posting these. I like the hybrid, the belt ball, and the multi color one the best. I grew up in Stoughton MA which was the home of Elias Drake who supposedly made the first figure eight ball (but never patented it). It is really cool to see a hybrid as if someone was working to figure out which stitching method was best. Kevin, please show yours when you have time.

I am really enjoying this thread. I have been trying to learn more about early baseballs and this will be a great help. Mark, I have never seen a "hybrid" ball, that is really special.

just a few examples
on the shelf. Really just looking for a larger belt style (and of course anything unusual). Including a neat early trade card/ticket featuring a golden lemon peel....

Multi color lemon peel 4 piece baseballs
Scrolling through these images I am seeing lemon peels with alternating colors of red and brown. I have one that alternates red and green. I was told that the reason was that some teams would color the balls their team colors. What do you guys think? Is that correct? I have found the multicolored lemon peels to be small in diameter compared to most lemon peels. Could another reason be that the colored balls were youth/child balls similar to 19th century youth/child bats?
Thoughts?

The white glove is perched on a wood glove stand. I got it from a fellow collector named Paul Montesano, who might be a member here. I believe Paul makes these himself, and used to sell them periodically (both directly and on eBay). They were very reasonably priced, as I recall. If you (or someone you know) is handy, they actually look pretty simple to make. It's just two prongs and a flat oval base. I'll follow up with a pic shortly...

Here's the wooden glove stand. Pretty simple... 2 prongs and an oval base.
I like to use these for my favorite gloves, which I rotate on display. I already know these pics will post sideways, and nothing I do will fix it. Hope the sideways pics aren't too distracting, and that this is helpful.
