Let's See Some Baseballs!

Great topic. Here is my favorite. I am 90% sure the player on the top is Little Poison Waner. I have never seen another like it. I found it four years ago at an antique show.

I like this ball because of the names of the teams written on it. D&M game used trophy baseball.
Dated July 1921 from "Alva Orphans" (Northwest Oklahoma League) vs. "Sweetwater Swatters" (West Texas League).

Here are a few 19th century baseballs in my display case:

found this one this past fall with a nice old catcher's mitt. ball is almost perfectly new

[slidekellyslide]

Nice ball Brett. Do you happen to know when it was manufactured?

[imlemonysnicket]

i'm not positive but i'd guess late 20's/early 30's - that was the same era as the glove that i got with it. the lady also had the uniform of the player who used the mitt and ball but i had already spent my money (only 20 bucks for the ball which I think was a great deal).

Absolutely. Ed used to caddy for Tom when he was trying to catch on the PSA tour too.

I know this is in answer to a very old post, but I was wondering about this ball. My grandfather, Merle Smith, played for the Alva Giants one season (or possibly the Alva Orphans) between 1900 and 1904. I was wondering if there was any chance he signed that ball?

This is one of my most recent finds. Signed by Dizzy Dean, and 15 others, inscribed World Series 1938 ... all Chicago Cubs. Also has Tony Lezzeri.
