Lemon Peel Baseball
Has anyone ever seen this zig-zag pattern of stitches on a 19th century Lemon Peel Baseball before. The Ball seems 100% right but have never encountered this pattern. Image2.jpg

What size is it? Looks more like a 1950s "Clincher" Softball...google that and you will see what I mean.

It is 3 1/2" in diameter.

Guarantee that this is not 1950'd - definitely 19th century!

That is the size of a small softball, larger than a baseball. Looks like a softball to me, but I am no expert on 19th century balls. What makes you say it is definetly 19th century?

Is it constructed like a lemon peel ball, or is it two pieces? I can't tell from the pictures.

Search "antique softball" in ebay. There are a bunch with what looks like a similar stitch pattern. I may be mistaken, but I think it's an early softball (could even be 19th century softball), but I don't think it falls in the realm of a "lemon-peel" baseball.

ball
that form of stitching is called concealed lace. Very common with indoor baseballs and softballs. Looks quite old
