Spalding Baseball Stitching Bench

Vintage baseball stitching vise and bench used in the production of Spalding baseballs. While this may seem like a crude device, it should be noted that all Major League baseballs today are still made by hand in much the same manner. The wooden bench bears the Spalding logo on the front, with the metal vise securely bolted on the top. Three screw holes are present in the area where the worker would sit and might represent where a cushioned seat may have once been attached.
