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

Hi all,

I purchased these balls at an auction of abandoned safe deposit items. They are Worth 922-C "Official League" Base Balls. The style and fabric of the box, and the old fashioned english just scream 1910's - 1920's. (For instance the word Base Ball seperated into two words, as the game used to be known).

I can find nothing about these balls. I've tried contacting Worth, but they haven't responded. From their website, Worth started making baseballs in 1920.

Both are in their original boxes. One of the boxes is open, which allowed me to take the photos. The other is sealed. Uploading photos using the insert object box doesn't work for me (file size?). Lets see if these work, from photobucket.

Here are a few pictures:

Sure are sweet. Wonder what they are and what they're worth?

Any help appreciated!
