Football
Great football; congrats on adding it to your collection.
I would be very surprised if inflating it slowly works given the ball and bladders age. It likely won't hold air, or will leak. Can't hurt to try as long as the leather isn't too dry/brittle. I can recommend a restorer who I have used may times in the past, who will replace the bladder, and re-lace using antique laces (or the original laces when possible) Shoot me an email, and I'll get you his contact info if interested.

I ended up filling it up. It looks better now (more of a football shape), but it is still flat. Not sure if it will hold the football shape or shrinl back into a rasin.
I'm torn between keeping it as is (with original laces) and restoring. I'll probably wait for a bit to decide. If I can't keep it out of rasin form, I'll probably restore. Right now, I just enjoy having it.
