Hey Bill,

Yeah, I loved the fact that the year was written on it as well. I actually have a photo of the team (actually framed side by side photos of the 06 and 07 St Marks teams) that shows the captain holding this exact trophy ball. I also have one of their sweaters. As to the stand, I picked up a group of 3 brass stands in a box lot at an estate auction. I think they might be candle stands or something (obviously not intended for footballs ) but I liked the look of them, and thought they would look good displaying nearly 100 year old footballs. Here is a photo of the other 2 wtih a Princeton Columbia trophy ball on one.
