Question
My Father played football at the Univ of Denver in the 1930's They played George Washington to a 0-0 tie in a night game in the rain and fog. My dad told me they played with a white football (which I have) as an experiment to see if they could see it better at night - lighted fields were pretty rare.  He told me it was so foggy and was raining so hard neither team threw the ball much so they couldn't really tell if there was a difference.  When he gave me the ball he said "hang on to this,it might be worth someting - someday.  That is my question.

Thank you

Answer
John, hello!


It's hard to advise but the football would likely draw attention on Ebay.  

Contact the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.  They will give names and advise of those in the know of what that football could be worth!!

Take care,
