Possibly previously white softball, now beige in color with stitching around it. The top of the softball, in faded blue ink reads, "Official, Indoor - Outdoor, The Protex Seam." Below it in more blue, faded out ink reads, "No. 412, 12 Inch Size, Kapok Center, Horsehide Cover." On the top of the ball is faded out blue ink, possibly the makers stamp. On the left side of the ball there is more blue text, only "U.S. Patent" is legible, the rest is faded and blocked out by a stain. On the opposite side of the ball, painted on in black paint is the number "34."
