It fell from the sky, dropped down a disused chimney and was lost behind old wood panels for over one-and-a-half centuries... a 7-panel "ButtonBall", made before the split between Rugby Football Union & Association Football. The Punt-about ButtonBall is the worlds oldest known template ball, inflated with an India-rubber bladder ( after the pigs bladder) which revolutionised ball manufacture and allowed the spread of the game throughout the world. The distinctive shape of the "Rugby" ball was born... now you can have one or gift a loved one with a touch of history
