A guy gave me this Faball and I have no idea what type of FaBall it is, can't find any info or pics to figure out what it is. It has the Hammer logo on the side, Fab with the typical logo circle, no sign of a pin, it's burgundy color, sort of. I haven't seen many FaBalls in my life so I hope someone will have an idea. I took some pics and can send them e-mail if that'll help.
Thanks

Probably a Burgandy Hammer. Faball was the original manufacturer of Hammer. Ebonite eventually bought the Hammer name.

Thanks ! That's it. I bet that's the ONLY site I had NOT looked at, I forgot about that one. Thanks again.

At the time the ball was made it was considered to be a sign of good quality for the Pin and Cg to be at the same location - in this case the logo.

great ball in its time

It has a pin - it is just the same color as the coverstock, hard to find if you do not know what you are looking for. Balls of that times (early 90ies) used to be drilled label - CG in the palm, and the pin will probably be in a Northeast direction from the Faball label (for a righty), not far away, since pin distances used to be low.
