The red baseball is heavy cloth hand stitched into place. It is also “stamped” with “R” for Reds, the lacing on the ball is hand painted. Note the two little holes with soiling around them. I have a feeling someone simply had it tacked to a wall and would take it down from time to time to show it off to anyone who’d ask. That’s just conjecture of course, but it would explain the little holes as well as the “knuckle stain.”
