Help with Reach Baseball
 
2 Attachment(s)
I was looking in my closet and found what I think is a Reach baseball and don't remember anything about it. It has a pat # on it but can't make it out clearly. There is writing on the other side but can't make it out. I would like to know if this is an old Reach baseball. Thanks for any help. I need to clean some things out of my man cave :(

I can't tell you much about the reach portion, but it looks like the writing says "Navin Field."

Looks to be 1935 Era

I don't think these photos will help. Thanks to the help I got. :)

Looks like a Reach OAL ball manufactured anywhere from 1934 to 1942. Can't narrow the dates down any more than that without seeing the stamping on the reverse sweet spot panel, which appears to be completely absent.

(thanks to Brandon and his ball guide for the ability to do a quick lookup)

Has to be post-1934 due to single color stitching and pre-1938 as Navin Field's name changed after that. So, 1935-1937

The knowledge on this site is unreal. Thanks to all for the help. D.
