Original U.S. WWII Army Issue Baseball Marked US

-
Original Item. Only One Available. The 1940s were a time of transition, both for this country as well as the sport of baseball. America was plunged into World War II, and with the enlistment of many "able-bodied men", the very face of baseball changed. Every man that enlisted in the service was given the standard set of "Government Issue" (G.I.) equipment: uniform, helmet, socks, T-shirts, boots.... For a time back in the 1940s, the Military also issues baseball equipment to the troops! This was endorsed by the President, who said that baseball should continue, even during time of war, to keep this Country together.
This is a good WWII-issue baseball, marked US on both sides. The baseball measures 2¾” and is in very good overall condition overall, and the red stitching has held up very well.
A rare piece, ready for display.
