does anyone know the years that the Blue/Red stitching was used in the Major Leagues?

Re: AL and NL baseballs

A.G.Spalding and Brothers National League baseballs were adopted by 28 out of a possible 41 professional baseball leagues in 1908. Both official baseballs were double stitched, the Spalding National League ball in red and black until 1933, and the A.J.Reach American League ball in red and blue until 1934. Following the 1933-34 seasons the stitching colors changed to the present color of red. Hope this helps.

All star game balls have Red/Blue stitching, no?

Question, are you or any forum member aware of replicas being made of these baseballs? I've seen a few pop-up recently on eBay and I was just wondering if someone has figured out a way to make a copy.
