From the days of Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb and Walter Johnson, this Reach baseball with original band around the center is sealed and still maintains its original $1.50 price tag from G.W. Shroyer in Dayton, Ohio. The band features a "B.B. Johnson" facsimile signature stamped on it and it is in VG condition. A.J. Reach & Co. was America's largest sporting goods manufacturer in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.
