Vintage Major League Baseball help/ID!?!?

[NWpickin]

I’m very familiar with vintage sporting goods and have sold tons of vintage baseballs and basketballs over the years but this one has me stumped.

Details:
Vintage Major League Baseball
Marked: WORTH
Stitch color: Blue/Red
Genuine Baseball leather
Warranted
5oz, 9 in.
NO. 951

I’ve searched a ton online and found a few similar examples but none exactly the same. Attached are are few pictures of the markings.

Any help determining the age/value would be greatly appreciated.

Nice! Thanks [emoji120] Beachkid! Saved me a lot of time!! Not very much info on this ball.... I Will probably put a high BIN.

Was that the only one? Looks like it sold back in 2015.

Only one for that design. Others were $30 -50.

I found several online by Worth but none that say Major League yet (Most date to late 30's to early 40's, but they were making them until the 50's) and they are valued between $150-$200. Your's looks to be mint shape though so I would expect it could be worth more.

Nice Find! Where did you get it?

There may be some connection with Lannon Mfg. Co. or Lannan Mfg. Co. of Tullahoma, Tenn.

I will give you a 100% return on your investment. How does $2 dollars sound?

Great Find & Good Eye
