It looks like a typical one-piece construction lemon peel ball. There are no apparent tell-tale signs to indicate it being a reproduction or fake. Whether or not it was used for baseball could perhaps be debated, as it is a little bit on the smaller side.
But as for the materials and construction, everything looks perfect... IMO, it is not one of these bogus ebay examples that was made recently, to look old. The stitching is perfect for the era, and has obviously not been recently added. Also, if someone were to recreate this, they would not likely have added that mounting hole on the one panel. As for authentication... Mears may be willing to write you up an LOA. I have seen them authenticate many other early pieces of baseball/football equipment simply as being "authentic". Try contacting them, if you need a professional Letter. Hope this helps. Last edited by perezfan; 03-24-2014 at 07:37 AM.
