This outstanding heirloom was in the original family's possession for 80+ years under lock and key only to be viewed on rare occasions. It is known that the original caretaker was a man named Mr. Albert Kuffer of Chicago, Illinois who worked at the famed Karpen Brothers furniture store. During a regular and mundane day at work, the greatest baseball player to ever live entered the store and crossed paths with Mr. Kuffer while browsing. The conversation quickly went to baseball and ended with Babe Ruth offering Mr. Kuffer a single-signed ball. This Official American League (Harridge) is sewn together with brilliant red and blue stitchwork and is easily one of the cleanest 1930s baseballs we've ever encountered. The black fountain ink sign signature was perfectly placed on the sweet spot by the Sultan of Swat, looks remarkable and is free of any distractions. An extremely high quality example, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more impressive single-signed Babe Ruth baseball than this fine offered specimen. Comes with a Letter of Provenance from the original owner's family, JSA LOA and PSA LOA.
