Smallest legit lemon peel and figure 8 baseballs
 
Was wondering what the concensus was for the smallest legitimate lemon peel or figure 8 baseball you've either owned or came across. Looking for smallest diameter and/or weight. What would be to small to be considered a baseball?
Thanks!!
Michael

Here is my smallest..7in and 2.5oz. I don't think it can go much smaller than this. Normal size ball for comparison.

That's a beautiful "Belt Ball", and FWIW I agree that 7" is about right for the smallest acceptable circumference.

Thanks guys! :)
And when you say 7 inches would be the smallest acceptable does that go for both lemon peels AND early figure 8's?

And one of the nicest figure eights you'll ever see very tight tiny stitches 8 inches around
