A Spalding No. 1 baseball from Barry Levinson's sports drama The Natural. Baseballs were used throughout the film, including when Roy Hobbs (Robert Redford) hit his climactic game-winning home run.

Principle and background performers used custom-made, exacting recreations of 1932-1933-era Spalding baseballs during filming and batting practice throughout production. This baseball features an off-white leather skin with red and blue stitching, a cushion cork center, and period-correct "Spalding" and "Official National League Reg. U.S. Pat. Off." logos stamped in blue. Also included are a printed copy of a continuity photograph of Hobbs and a Certificate of Authenticity from the film's prop master and prop house. The ball is intentionally distressed by production to appear well-worn with fading print, scuffing, and staining throughout. Dimensions: 3" x 3" x 3" (7.75 cm x 7.75 cm x 7.75 cm)

Estimate: $2,000 - 4,000
