Can anyone help identify this NFL football? 

DateMonday, August 23, 2010 at 8:15PM | |

 

Denise asks:

 
You previously helped me with a victorian ginger jar….and I’m hoping you can help me out with this one….it’s quite different.
 
I obtained, at an estate sale, a Leather Football marked:  NFL 100, Officially Licensed.  On the other side is marked: Korea 01000.  It also has the NFL logo.  There is no team name.  There are no white stripes on the ends.  I was in contact with Rawlings Official License Division and the guy there said he has not dealt with these type of footballs, so he couldn’t help me.  He said they usually name the team name on them.  He said the professional balls do not have the stripes. 
 
I found it interesting that he could not give me any info on this, since he works for Rawlings.  He forwarded my request on to someone else, but didn’t say who….said he would let me know if they provided any info.
 
What I also found interesting is that I find NO such football on ebay or anywhere on the internet.  There are lots of Wilson NFL balls.  A couple Rawlings, but no NFL 100 Rawlings.  Also interesting is the Korea….it doesn’t say Made In Korea….just Korea 01000.  I know there was some type of NFL going on during the Korean War.  I wondered if this might have something to do with that…from the early 1950’s.
 
I’m hoping this is something really rare and valuable…obviously.  But at this point, I am just intrigued about the origin of this football, age, etc…particularly since Rawlings wasn’t able to provide me with it.
 
I’m attaching photos….let me know if you need anything further.  Thanks again.

AW says: We’ll Denise, I have to admit, I’m stumped on this one. So let’s see if the community can find out anything for you.
What do you say folks? Does anyone know anything about this football? If so, please leave your answer in the comments here, or email me directly at info@auctionwally.com
If someone can help us out with a definitive answer, I’ll send out one of my prize envelopes I reserve for my weekly newsletter contest winners.
