Default Long time lurker, first post.... Can someone identify these old Baseballs??

First of all, congrats on an outstanding pick up. You stole them at that price. David gave you good advice regarding the ball guide from Bushing and Joe Phillips. It doesn't get into "non-pro" balls really, but it is interesting. The value of store model balls is driven solely by the graphics on the boxes and age. One tip off on the age of your balls is that most official league balls (not all) prior to 1934 had multi color stitching. Worth began producing baseballs in 1920. The price of balls in general and balls in the box have gone crazy in the past two years for some reason. I love em, but it is tough to find good deals on ebay. I would like to know why someone would have put them in the bank. Sure they are uncommon...but. Here is one of my favorites from my collection. Anyone think that looks like Little Poison Waner? Good luck!
