What Is the World’s Largest Ball of Stamps?
At 32 inches in diameter and weighing 600 pounds, this is the world’s largest ball of stamps!
What Makes It Wonderful?
This is a collaborative work by many different philatelists from Boys Town! Starting with what was most likely a golf ball, the members of the Boys Town Stamp Collecting Club spent two years, from 1953 until 1955 building this collection into the magnificent orb that it remains today!
