Old baseball. What is it?
 
Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>I recently bought this baseball and was wondering if anyone can help me identify it. The label says "King of the Diamond League", and the top says it was made by McKinnon. It also says Bon-Tober sporting goods in the circle around the top of the McKinnon label. The number 120 is stamped in the ball as well. The stiching is green and the cover is fairly thin. You can see some of the "insides" of the ball pushing up against the cover. I was just wondering about an age etc. Thanks.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1174950884.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1174950897.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1174950910.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Circa 1920-30s baseball made for kids/youth. McKinnon Bon Tober balls are relatively scarce and yours has all readable stamping making it desirable. If I had to guess a value I would say $75-100. Maybe more depending on two people going after it in an auction venue.
