1912-1930 waterMelon Football-Here is
a great football that has become extinct. It was larger then todays
modern day ball as it had more girth. It was the first ball used for
passing in the game of football. One of its famous first uses was
when Knute Rockne brought the passing game to football, for real,
when he as a player, brought the forward pass to unknown Notre Dame
and used it to beat nationally known and favored Army. That was the
year when unknow ND entered the spotlight forever and the forward
pass began its climb to being an incredible football weapon.
So in 1913 the passing game was born and the watermelon football road
supreme .This early football was a handfull to grasp and pass. This
is a beautiful replica football , handcrafted and hand sewn by Past
Time Sports. Specially aged and tanned leather to exactly recapture
the rarest of all early footballs. Size ands weight are perfect. Try
to wrap your hand around it and throw a pass. You can do it but it
is an experience when comparing this old style ball with the streamline
look and feel of today's ball. It is made of a old style leather which
is specially tanned to give it that museum quality. This ball will
send you back to the days of early teens ,twenties and 30s football.
