Help with a vintage ball and box

[thxforthebp]

Thanks for the info. My only question is that it seems to predate the Frick baseball fund. Goldsmith was bought out by MacGregor right after WWII and stopped manufacturing products under their name. Everything was made under the Macgregor-Goldsmith name and then Goldsmith name was dropped in the early 1950s and the line became solely Macgregor. The ball and box are only stamped Goldsmith?????

The only thing I could think of in this situation is old store stock was bought out by a minor league club. I wasn't so sure about the ball, but the font of the stamping is similar to other 1950s minor league balls, but I've definitely seen that box style with late 1930s Goldsmith baseballs.
