It would still be five years until Jackie Robinson would break the color barrier of the Majors when this pair of Wilson Official Negro League baseballs (stamping faintly visible) were batted about the diamond and then each signed by a few ballplayers. Names include James West and M. Duckett. One ball is notated "Phila. Stars;" the other is dated "1942." They were acquired together in the Philly area. Ink is EX overall.
