Answer
Yellow Dots were from the 1960's or so. Still today, it would be a great dry lanes/spare ball if it were drilled to fit your hand. Take the ball to a pro shop and ask them to measure its gross weight. That's the best way to find out exactly how much it weighs since it could be anything up to 16 pounds. You might go to columbia300.com and ask them. There's a slim chance they could give you a manufacturing date.
