An early 20th century pre valve hole size (2) 12 panel leather football with it's original fold over bladder & in remarkably good condition 

 Very likely vintage though it could be antique

"IMPOTANT" When I acquired the ball the fold over bladder had split half way up the valve & had to be trimmed. The ball has been inflated using the remaining section of valve (approx 1") & remained firm for 24hrs prior to packing. As such the ball is being sold as requiring a new bladder.

The stand is homemade & free with the ball. Made from the thick card core of a roll off packing tape, a little acrylic paint & finished with a faux velvet exterior.

A very rare little ball that would make for a great ornament & wouldn't look out of place on a desk.

If you have time check out my other vintage, antique rare & unusual listings, I often have coprolites & the occasional fossil too. 

Good luck & happy hunting
