<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Double_D, post: 4124157, member: 3853&quot;]I started reaching out to conservators and sellers, and one offered a possible answer that would might make perfect sense, there not being a name, tag, or remnant of either evident anywhere on it:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;It is a handmade piece possibly from the 40s&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>If not for the stitching together of the panels (covering) exhibiting an extremely high level of precision and consistency. It looks to me to be stitched in the same fashion that the 2 panels of leather on a baseball are joined together; the same type of stitch, the holes through the leather precisely equidistant and at the same exact distance from the edge of the panels, without the slightest deviation! Can a human, either by hand, or utilizing sewing machinery not specifically designed to tool these for mass production achieve such an insane level of execution? Especially considering that this is a toy, not a medical or aircraft device where the tolerances would have to be far more exacting than in the manufacture of toys?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
