This Fife 27 1/2 is an early rubber core ball made by St. Mungo Manufacturing in 1900.  This very nice ball does not show much use and still has most of its original white paint.  The crazing seen in the paint in the accompanying images is not nearly as noticeable when viewing the ball in real life. The accompany images are highly magnified when compared to the approximately 1.65" diameter of the ball in real life. Again, this is a very nice, rare ball.
