Gilbert continue to manufacture leather rugby balls using similar techniques first used by William Gilbert in 1823. A perfect gift for Christmas or for award presentations and corporate functions, the Vintage Ball is an excellent piece of memorabilia that makes a great decorative piece.

The traditional style markings on the ball reflect back on the history of Gilbert Rugby, whilst the laced valve opening and leather finish replicate the structure of the original rugby balls.

The vintage balls are available in either black or brown leather, in size 5 or mini, perfect for adults or children looking for a great memento.

If you are looking for a great rugby gift this season for the ultimate rugby fan, the vintage ball is exactly what you need.
