Don’t wanna hijack the thread here but was wondering if we might include 19th C. trophies in general for the sake of continuing the discussion. These baseballs are simply wonderful, but how about we look to add trophy bats, printed presentation materials, and trophies (cups, medals, etc) themselves.

Unions of Morrisania, giving the ball an association with member and master ball maker John Van Horn.

Awesome ball, Paul! Keep those balls coming, all!
Jonathan, I dig the idea, but let’s keep this 19th Century Ball thread a…ball thread. You should definitely start up a separate thread for the types of other 19th Century stuff you want to see. Then there will be a 19th Century ball thread, bat thread, etc. always archived for easy access and additions without getting too convoluted. |

1875 silver trophy ball from Franklin Co NY. Unfortunately, a fuzzy image due to my technological shortcomings.

Note the unique stitch pattern of each ball. The '66 ball has an "H" pattern at the base and the '67 ball has a "Y" stitch pattern at the base. May be unique to those specific years... https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/4742/ZvwiY6.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/5898/lsTLLi.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/6624/ksTKkv.jpg Three early 1900's UPenn balls decorated in the colors of their adversaries, Princeton, Lehigh and Columbia.... https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/8136/o68iEM.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/4106/aASB6E.jpg Not sure if this Golden Jubilee ball qualifies? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/484/0KYVEn.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/2995/pjepNX.jpg Last edited by pedodds; 08-07-2021 at 12:03 PM. |

Really good stuff, excited to try to find one now.
John, clicking on your photo line brings up really great large, clear images. I don’t know how to do that. |

Thanks Bruce!
There are some fabulous balls in this post. I'm not sure why my images didn't come up? Maybe the file size was too large? Anyway...Give me a call as I know where a killer trophy ball is and it's right up your alley!! |
