Here is an actual game used ball from Hubert Benjamin "Dutch" Leonard's 1st no-hitter game on August 30, 1916 at Fenway Park. This was the second no-hit game ever thrown at the original Fenway Park. Note in the 2nd panel that the ball was a gift of Red Sox player Chick Shorten ("Ball given by Shorten").
This ball was an attic find in Rochester, NY and surfaced about 4 years ago, fresh to the hobby after nearly 100 years. I'm really proud to own this in my collection which is focused on no-hitters. It's an awesome ball to look at in person. The photos really don't do it justice.
