Re: Let's See Some Baseballs!
$20 is a steal for any multicolor stitched ball...especially one in as good as condition as yours plus you got the original box. I just picked up a Pioneer League ball that was also made by Worth that I think is probably 1930's. Anyone know how late multicolor stitch balls were being used in professional baseball? I know that I can definitely say that the Three I League was using a black and red stitch Goldsmith ball as late as 1938.

Re: Let's See Some Baseballs!
I got the ball from Sports Immortals in Boca. The photos on it are cut from some sort of actual photo, not a newspaper or magazine. I'll try to post pictures of the sides tomorrow.

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.

Re: baseball
I'm sure it is a cool ball, but late 1800s or early 1900s? It sure looks never than that. Any insight, experts? Originally Posted by ramramram

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

Re: Let's See Some Baseballs!
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
