Babe & Lou 1927 Signed Ball
I have verified that the barnstorming duo did play at Fireman's Park in Fresno, CA on October 29, 1927... but I assume anyone with intent to create a nice fake could look up that info. Still, the writing with the location & date looks vintage.
What do you all think? I bought this from someone who said his father found it in a closet he was cleaning out.

I will let the experts on the signatures opine on them but there is an awful lot of feathering on the signatures. It looks like someone sanded down the ball then added the signatures after.

The Ruth sig is not typical and the wear does not appear to be legitimate. If it were legit this would be a fantastic piece, unfortunately no good IMO.

The stitching does not appear to be consistent with a 1927 ball. It is, however, very difficult to be definitive working from a photograph.

A toned ball with areas of fresh white that appear to be sanded. Never a good sign.
