This handcrafted T-panel style vintage football was used in the historic 1930 World Cup, played in Uruguay. The final match between Argentina and Uruguay is remembered for its unique circumstances, where each team insisted on using their own ball. Argentina preferred the Tiento ball, while Uruguay wanted the T-model ball. To resolve the dispute, it was the only time in World Cup history that two different balls were used during a final. Uruguay went on to win, using the T-model ball in the second half.
