Rare game ball hit for a home run by Walt Singer during Game 2 of the North African World Series, held at St. Eugene Municipal Stadium in Algiers, Algeria, on October 4, 1943. This is a remarkable souvenir and one that has significance both for baseball and World War II collectors alike. All the provenance is in the form of the vintage handwritten notations in black fountain pen that adorn every panel. The lettering across the sweet spot reads "North Africa World Series Oct 4 1943." Written, respectively, on the two adjacent East and West panels are "Game Ball" and "Algiers." The adjacent sweet spot reads "Home Run by Singer. The remaining two side panels read, respectively, "Won by Casablanca 'Little Yanks 9-0 7-6" and Umpires: Monk Hert Lefty Kohler Pat Conway." The ball, which bears no manufacturer's stampings, is darkly toned and has been heavily shellacked. 

Research confirms the information recorded on the ball, as the Casablanca Yankees defeated the Algiers Streetwalkers by sweeping the best-of-three series two games to none. The hitting star for the Yankees was former Syracuse All-American Walt Singer, who hit the only Series home run (this very ball according to the printed notations) in Game 2 of the series, which Casablanca won by a score of 7-6. Each member of the winning team received an autographed baseball by Dwight Eisenhower and the winner's trophy was made out of an unexploded Italian bomb.
