The "Acme" Gutta Percha golf ball. Dates from around 1898 Made by Wright and Dickson. A very rare ball to find. It is in exceptional condition for its age and would compliment any golf ball collectors display. This ball has two/three fine strike marks otherwise in first class condition GB306 A set of three gutta percha golf balls in their original named box.The label on box reads The St Andrew Golf Ball. Manufactured by "The United Gutta Percha & Rubber Co Ltd" Craigpark Works Glasgow. Very little is known about this very rare ball, to find a set of three in their original box is a golf collectors dream. Two of the balls are missing 10% of their paint whereas the other retains virtually all of its paint. I can only assume that this has come about due to handling. The pictures speak for themselves. Boxed set of three very early mesh patterned Gutty golf balls. Forgan style hand hammered Gutta Percha ball, devoid of paint with possibly 4/5 strike marks otherwise in good condition. Because of the complete lack of any sign of paint to this ball leads me to believe that some of these very early balls were not neccessarily painted at all. The only other reason is that the early paints used were lacking in adesive quality for this then new material.
This ball has been used and shows some strike marks. Condition. Very good for a ball of this age. GB276 Kro-Flite. An original set of three mesh patterned golf balls in their original box(probably never been taken out.) Multi Dot Black Blue & Green.Made by A.G.Spalding &Bros. Made in Gret Britain. A very rare find, all 100% original. Dated circa 1925/30. Early sets of Golf balls like these are very rarely seen and therefore the envy of all Golf Ball collectors.When a ball is in its original box there is no doubt as to its Authenticity and provenance. Kro-Flite. Multi-dot set of three early mesh pattern golf balls.in all original condition. Feather Ball. Feather Filled Ball large inscribed "Made by Mc ......." in excellent condition. Circa 1830. The writing appears to read Made By McKewan. The ball is certainly very early and is heavily coated with many coats of paint. The condition is absolutely excellent for this age of ball. This item is a rarity and needs to be placed in a top quality collection. Shows little or no sign of use. Condition excellent.
