Hello and welcome to Southamerican-Collectibles!

What are you bidding on?

You are bidding on a truly rare little book of 14 pages written in Spanish in 1920 in Montevideo Uruguay containing the rules of a rare sport invented by Antonio Valeta in the previous years.

Valeta was a naturist/vegetarian and saw the soccer as a non natural and very violent sport so invented this sport BALON. The sport increased its popularity in the following years and extended to several countries however it almost dissapeared with the death of Valeta in 1945. In 2015 this extinguished Uruguayan sport was recognised by the Modern World Handball Federation as a main source/stream of influence for the modern handball game played nowadays.
