<![CDATA[Old Browns Football question]]> Have a question for you guys. Found this old football in storage. Was from some of my dads stuff when he was a kid. My guess is the 60's or 70s. I dont know much about it. It appears to have a bunch on old famous browns players names on it. They dont seem to be real signatures but something you would have bought in the store back then. I was wondering if anyone could help me shed some light on it.

Thanks,

I wasnt sure if it would be worth anything or not because it doesn't hold air anymore and some of the leather as cracked from being deflated so long.

Just thinking again on this, if you want this as a keepsake a football bladder can be replaced......might have to be careful to save the original laces.

Looks like it had some "backyard activity" from the general condition.

Tough to make out a lot of these signatures.  Jim Houston, Ron Johnson,  Chip Glass, I think I see Paul Warfield.    Howard Brinker, I think was a coach.

One thing I will say beyond a shadow of a doubt. The signed football is definitely not "THE DUKE" . It's a pre-stamped souvenir ball. Sorry, but I doubt that you could get 1 buck for it.

🙂 One piece of Browns memorabilia I've seen that I do know is "authentic". My pal inherited it from his Dad (won in a contest). A 1950 football signed by everyone on the team- and the coaches...  The bidding will start at....  (it's not for sale)

Yes but you can try and see the "as is" value and if it's worth repairing to get a retail value.

You can go to a memorabilla store but they might just give you $5 or $10 bucks for it if that.

Kind of like Antiques Roadshow BROWNS Edition.

I was gonna ask my uncle because he used to work for the browns but he is retired and his memory doesn't go back that far these days.

Autographed from the 1960s might be worth something to a collector.
