Original late-1960s Spalding Official J5V Canadian Football League leather football from the Jake Gaudaur commissioner era.

Jake Gaudaur became CFL commissioner in 1968 and played a major role in shaping and modernizing the Canadian Football League. Footballs bearing the Gaudaur commissioner marking represent an important period in CFL history and are increasingly collected as Canadian sports memorabilia.

This example retains its original leather construction and laces and has developed rich vintage character over decades. Unlike many older leather footballs that lose shape or suffer seam failure, this example remains visually strong and displays very well.

• Original leather construction

• Original laces present
