What is this Mystery Item? Can you figure it out?
This is a great piece for a BASEBALL collector. It's a wooden clamp that is made to hold a baseball as it is hand-sewn. The original owner of the piece says it was used by his father, as he sat on a stool.
The ball is held in place by two sides that are concave and baseball size and covered with baseball leather.
Another similar piece was found online, but in table top form.
Marks:
Property of The Lannon Mfg Co, Tullahoma, Tenn
