We were enthralled by this piece from the moment it hit ebay and toyed with the idea of bidding all along.

For some historical perspective and for the sake of dating, we believe that the scene engraved on the ball depicts the Great Sioux Uprising that took place in Minnesota in 1862. If so, than the size and style of the ball matches perfectly to the era in which it was created...within a few years for sure.

I would like to believe that with some research into Minnesota's state history the new owner will be able to come up with some rich history behind their new acquisition.
