NOTES:

The baseballs made from 1890 - 1907 have the same sweetspot in common and reads "Official League Ball". The "Adopted by the National League" stamp that appeared on the 1889 baseball was removed and the words "Official League Ball" was enlarged and centered.

The north panel reads "WARRANTED" and "9 IN. 5 OZ.". The baseballs made in 1895-1907 have a font change and is slightly enlarged.

From 1890-1894 the Spalding Logo on the South panel reads "MAKERS" at the bottom of the outer circle. "MAKERS" is removed from the 1895-1902 logo and replaced with "A.D. 1876" and below the circle "MADE IN U.S.A." is added. the "REG. U.S. PAT. OFF." stamp is removed from the top on the 1903- 1907 baseball and replaces "MADE IN U.S.A." witch is removed and added to the bottom of the outer circle in place of "A.D. 1876"
