The B.F. REPP Co. was a leather trades
company located in Ohio, that
specializes in harnesses, dating back
to the turn of
the 20th century. By the 1920's B.F. Repp had a number of small business'
including the REPPS Sports Equipment
Co., which was established in 1925. In
1931, the B.F. Repp and Sons stores,
located in Lima and Brian were merged
into one organization, of which founder Byard F. Repp moved to Bryan, and took
charge of the business.
The Official League Ball, with Red & black stitched is dated to about the
1930's, and was "made to the Official
specifications and is Official in size
and weight." The side panel of the box
goes on to read "Made by experienced
workers using the best centers, wool
yarn wrapping and horsehide covers"
