📝 Description
This original vintageWilson Y.A. Tittle All-American leather footballdates to the mid-century era, approximately the late 1950s through 1960s.
The ball features clearly visible factory-appliedY.A. Tittle “All-American”branding along with WilsonOfficialmarkings and a factory code that appears to read1438CL. Additional period construction markings remain visible despite decades of age and wear.
Y.A. Tittle was one of professional football’s most celebrated quarterbacks, making this a much more interesting collectible than a generic vintage leather football. The combination of Wilson branding, player endorsement, original factory markings and heavy natural patina gives it strong appeal for vintage football collectors, sports memorabilia enthusiasts and mid-century display.
The leather shows the kind of authentic aging expected from an original period sporting item, including darkened areas, scuffs, cracking, creasing, surface wear and softened texture. The stamped graphics remain readable and give the piece excellent visual character.
This is anoriginal vintage football, not a modern decorative reproduction. It is being sold as a collectible/display piece rather than for active play.
