Here is a vintage football that I’d say is from the late 1970’s or into the 1980’s. It’s a MacGregor model 1936 hard rubber football that is official size and nylon wound. Inflate to 13 lbs. and the ball is holding most of the air and shape. It has air in it and it appears someone filled it up with air some time ago and then sealed the air hole with a clear sealant. Right now it has a soft feel to it, so it’s not solid but can easily be gripped and thrown. Made in Thailand.
The rubber has give to it, so it doesn’t seem to have hardened over the years like some of them do.
The ball is used but is sure didn’t get used much and looks great with no wear on the decal and the MacGregor name. Football season is coming up. If you played with one of these as a kid you’ll remember it didn’t feel good to get hit with one on a cold fall day. But now you can relive that feeling if you want. lol
