Lot #514 1943 Red Sox Team Ball Cond: 8

Rare wartime ball, I cannot remember the last time we saw one of these. The condition is remarkably nice for a ball from this era. The ball is a clean Amateur League model with 22 pleasing period black ink signatures. The keys here are a rare Ted Williams from during World War Two, Al SImmons, Jim Tabor, Bill Conroy, Joe Cronin, Johnny Pesky and Bobby Doerr. This may have been signed at some type of benefit game or fundraiser for the war as Ted was active in World War Two and has no official at bats in 1943, Al Simmons's signature makes this a 1943. Very interesting and unusual ball. JSA LOA (full).
