Ball Collection

My scarce ball collection. Not balls, although there is more than one, so we can leave that one alone!! A series of U.S. experimentals. I don't get paid millions to play with then on weekends on TV. Considering their cost though I may have to look into that. I also do not play catch with them, but I fondle them a lot!. Guess I left myself open with that comment. Enjoy!

Here's a couple more for you. The first looks like the internal ball on the T-15, but it is marked T-14. The frag bodies are different wire patterns, I thought them to be an internal frag coil until I recently saw a photo of one with a Beano fuze... The three T43 bodies are about a third smaller than an M67. The have a pressed in priming tube similar to an M26, with a cap on the bottom. I have no documentation on any of the group.
