Thank you Matt, Lance, Scott & Early for your input.
I picked up this ball at the recent Sterling auction so yes, it did recently sale.
If you are correct about the date, that would not be good because the game in question was played at the end of the 1948 season.
Matt, you are the first person that I have heard from that has seen the ball in the past besides the information I received from the auction house. It would really be helpful if you could narrow it down some as to which AH. Maybe there are some you used back than more than others? The AH upon my request, contacted the consigner for me, but all he could remember was that he picked it up at an auction a few years ago. He said he had a large collection, so he could not remember which AH.
The Baltimore Orioles contacted a friend of Rex's for me but he did not remember Rex mentioning the ball in the past.
I am still waiting for the return of some correspondences. That is where I stand down!
