The answer is a soccer ball.
You are by far the ultimate historian. Your post got me a bit curious and I believe I know how the 1929 date got infused:It’s known that when James Naismith first invented the game that a soccer ball was used, and according to an article in Total Basketball encyclopedia that was used for two years until a basketball (which was 4” larger in circumference) was specified and created. By 1894 the Spalding Company started manufacturing basketballs, which were hand-made at the time.
Not sure where you got the information that soccer balls were used until 1929 but that’s incorrect.
