Teens Era Phillies Signed Ball??
 
5 Attachment(s)
Wondering if the experts out there could lend me an assist in identifying the team or year this ball might be from. The only signatures that I can make out on the ball are as follows:

"Chief" CA Bender
Jerry F. Donovan
Hans Lobert
Otto Knabe
Rube Walsh
Stoney Mc?????

These are the only signatures that I can make out even though there seems to be evidence of more on the other panel. I'm afraid those are simply lost to time. The names I can identify seem to have one thing in common...having played for Phila. at some point (although not all at the same time).

And, lastly, was wondering the scarcity/desirability of Bender signatures on a baseball.

Thanks to all,
Jon

There's an even more desirable HOFer on there--Johnny Evers. Too bad it's so light.

Would have to do some digging on Rube Walsh, but I'll let you figure it out.

I would have immediately figured the Stoney Mc_____ to be McGlynn, but it appears to be an L after the Mc. There is next to nothing to go on with McGlynn, although I have owned exactly one over the years. It's not an exact match to that one, nor is it terribly astray. Just not enough to go on, but that does seem more like an L to me.

Forgot to mention there's also a Lew Moren at the top of the first photo. Another Phillie.

And I could be totally mistaken, but is that Rube Oldring I'm barely seeing at the bottom of one of the panels you haven't shown? It's directly to the left of the "National" on the label. I was scrolling by it quickly and somehow my mind immediately registered Rube Oldring. Even on its side, even obscured, and passing by it quickly! Would make sense, though--another period Philadelphia guy.
