Anyone know much about old baseballs?

I'm looking for a little help to date a ball I have. It's a reach baseball with red stitching. From what little I can find I think that means it's after 1934-1935 but beyond that I can't seem to figure anything out. It has signatures, which I can't figure out either. The only one I do know is Connie Mack. He died in 1956 so it's got to be somewhere between 1934/35 and 1956. They made baseballs for MLB till 1970, or something like that but obviously this one was made before 1956. Any help is appreciated. Thanks,

Def. hard to tell by those pics. If you get better pics and take shots of all the autos, I am sure members here can help identify them and then possily narrow the year down a bit more.
