Hey guys.
I found this ball in a West Virginia antique store. As you can see , the seal is broken but the box appears to have never been opened. The ball inside is covered with paper I can tell that much. Didn't want to damage the box further by trying to get the ball out. I paid $250. Anyone familiar with the ball with input on value and if i should try to do anything to secure the seal back to the box. Is the years correct? Thanks
