I would love to read thoughts from the lemon peel baseball experts out there (Kevin O, Mark S, Gary P, etc.) about this ball I just picked up. It measures about 9” around and weighs just over 2 oz. (very light). Strangely, it rattles when shaken, like it’s hollow and maybe the core is dislodged or something. Is this normal? Does it look and sound legit? Judging by the 4-piece construction, is it likely from the 1850’s?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
