1880s - Turn Of The Century Eight Panel Association Football

 


Really nice and clean example of a number 6 association ball, 30" in circumference. Note the construction such that the pattern differs on the two ends. I have yet to definitively identify the mark, although a similar circular pattern was used by Spalding and Reach.

    It may take some time to figure that out as I don't have a scale that weighs just a few pounds accurately. What are you expecting to deduce from knowing this?

      Thanks for the response. This is claiming to be an early American Football and weighs 1.8KGs. I suspect it to be a medicine ball.
