I would date them to the late 30s or early 40s. Nice items. Should go for $80 to $120 each. |

I hope you are going to be keeping those balls and not putting them up for sale. |

Hey, thanks for the input guys. No, I have no desire to sell these balls. In fact, I think they are so neat I may have to start collecting them. There can't be a whole lot of these old baseballs in this condition left on the planet. I think I made a good purchase. I was the winning bidder for the lot at $40. |

First of all, congrats on an outstanding pick up. You stole them at that price. David gave you good advice regarding the ball guide from Bushing and Joe Phillips. It doesn't get into "non-pro" balls really, but it is interesting. The value of store model balls is driven solely by the graphics on the boxes and age. One tip off on the age of your balls is that most official league balls (not all) prior to 1934 had multi color stitching. Worth began producing baseballs in 1920. The price of balls in general and balls in the box have gone crazy in the past two years for some reason. I love em, but it is tough to find good deals on ebay. I would like to know why someone would have put them in the bank. Sure they are uncommon...but. Here is one of my favorites from my collection. Anyone think that looks like Little Poison Waner? Good luck! |

It does give info on the evolution of balls, shows photos of some non-pro balls, and there is a section on the history of manufacturers. However, there is no pricing for non-pro balls or boxes and very little dating information for specific models of store models. It lists values for lemon peels, belt balls, and very detailed info on major league balls. This is/was the first effort, and like the glove guides, will hopefully evolve over time and become more comprehensive. |

It's a nice guide for beginners, not a twenty pound encyclopedia. Bleep out every time I used the word "all," replace with different word of your choosing. |
