Description
Ball reputed to have been used for cricket by Jesse Winder of London about 1637 and handed down through subsequent generations of his family until 1953. This ball is smaller than other known early cricket balls and would certainly not have passed the regulation specifications laid down in the 1744 laws, but could have been made for a child.
