NOTES: |
This is a tightly stitched professionally manufactured
vintage Figure-eight Baseball dating from circa 1870. This is an extraordinary top-quality
baseball memorabilia from the dawn of professional baseball. The ball, which measures nine and one-eighths in circumference, displays a soft, well-worn leather cover, with minor surface abrasions, and areas of light discoloration. Early nineteenth-century
baseballs of this quality are rare and often difficult to date with precise accuracy. This ball is not only a fine representative example from the era, but one that can be narrowly dated to the very early 1870s
