W.Gils National League baseball which has been signed on sweet spot and panel beneath, "Ernie Banks HR 19". The ball shows light appropriate game preparation/wear. The Banks baseball originated from the personal collection of former Chicago Cubs bat boy Joe Bauer. Bauer famously stored/identified his collection of home run baseballs with vintage white socks having titling in black marker on the outside which is included with the offered ball. Unclear as to whether the ball is the 19th home run of the 1954 or 1955 seasons (#21 or #40 of his career) but based on the fact that #19 for each 1954 and 1955 were hit at Chicago's Wrigley Field we can deduce the two viable options. Interesting and unique Banks home run baseball dating to the earliest portion of his Hall of Fame career.
