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

1859 Mutuals vs Atlantics
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/5696/LioB2L.jpg Uninscribed silver prize ball https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/3518/M2dqD4.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/9480/7daqd2.jpg I assume this is a Lehigh ball? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/8053/0HABMv.jpg 1866 Columbia class ball and 1867 Joiner's banker's league ball. 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!! |

This was the first trophy baseball I ever bought, at an estate sale advertised in The New York Times circa 1994. It’s an 1858 game from Pastime of Bedford. I paid $1,000, which brought my net worth to negative $101,000, as I had just graduated from business school. Some things you just know you’ll never see again.

Great ball, Paul. One of the earliest that exists.

Thanks, Gary. I’m aware of three at the Hall and one earlier ball in a private collection that sold in the early 90s and disappeared.

This is an Atlantic trophy ball, likely bisected for display in the rotunda at Ebbets Field. The interior shows just how lively baseballs of the early 1860s were, particularly those made by Harvey Ross of the Atlantic Club.
