Re: Let's See Some Baseballs!

1934 was the year all red stitching began in both leagues. Companies could obviously continue to make them, but they weren't used in the bigs after 1933.

I'm sure it is a cool ball, but late 1800s or early 1900s? It sure looks never than that. Any insight, experts?

Most likely a 1950-1960's child's toy baseball that you could get at any dime store.

Hilarious. Thanks for the laugh Rob M. Hard to believe someone could think that ball was that old. Like Dan said, a '60s, or even more recent, dime store toy.

Re: Let's See Some Baseballs!

Been wanting to put this beauty on for awhile! Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do..Mint in the box Honus Wagner Co. ball late-'20s, early '30s. Found at local estate sale years back. Also came w/original box w/lid that held a dozen balls. His name is stamped several times on the box, small pic of him on ball. One of my favorites. Jay

Re: Let's See Some Baseballs!

I noticed in a post that you had a 1939 cedar rapids autographed baseball. I believe mmy grandfather was on that team and I was wondering if you had a list of names.

Thanks for your time

Turn of the century 'Seamless' or 'Inside Out' stitched Spalding ball:



Unknown manufacturer/year - Clark Griffith (HOF) Auto Ball:


Not so vintage - but scarce - 1974 WS UMPIRES AUto Ball:






I'll post some more later...

Re: Let's See Some Baseballs!

Nice Topic. Here are 2 pics of some baseballs and boxes in my collection. I'm looking for dozen boxes, so if you have any that I don't have please contact me.

The individual balls are: 2 double header baseballs, Multistitched Pioneer League Worth ball, JC Higgins baseball, a Cal League Baseball, and a MLB BP ball.
