Golf Ball Display Cabinet

About the Item

Antique mahogany golf ball display cabinet. A Victorian wall display cabinet with a display of 19 golf balls. The cabinet is with a single glazed door and a black background. The balls sit on individually turned ebonized wooden display stands. The glass door gives a clear view of each and every golf ball on display, whilst helping to protect the balls from dust and damage. The 19 balls are sold with the cabinet and range from 1890s gutty ball to 1960s Dunlop 65. It is a good varied selection of gutta-percha, rubber core, mesh, bramble and dimple golf balls. A great little display cabinet made more versatile with the ability to alter the levels of the shelves with the brass supports. 1) 1910 mint condition mesh patterned 'B.I' golf ball manufactured by British Insulated Cables Ltd., Lancashire, England. 2) 1920s 'Pi-Hi, mesh' rubber core golf ball in mint condition, never been used and still wrapped in its original wrapper.

Edinburgh. 3) John Letters ball - dimple, wrapped. 4) A typical 1920s dimple patterned Dunlop 'Warwick' rubber core golf ball in original unused condition still in its original red wrapper with paper label. 5) A typical 1950s dimple patterned Slazenger 'Red Cross' rubber core golf ball in original unused condition still in its original white wrapper with paper label. 6) A good example of a bramble patterned rubber core golf ball. The ball is marked on 'E. Cheals XL' on one pole and 'Special Rubber Cored' on the other, circa 1900s. 7) A very unusual patterned 1915s rubber core golf ball in used condition. The patterned ball is a great display ball marked 'Warrington' on one pole and on the other 'A.J.I. Sherwood'. 8) 'Dunlop V' bramble patterned rubber core golf ball in very good condition. The Dunlop bramble ball dates circa 1910 and still has most of its white paint. The ball surface is not damaged, stamped on one pole is 'The Dunlop' on the other is an orange 'V'. 9) Gutty Ball, a moulded mesh patterned Gutta Percha golf ball in original condition. The 1890's Gutty ball has been used, some of the original paint is still on the surface, ball is slightly misshaped and cracked.

The ball has a square mesh or lattice pattern and is called 'Kro-Flite'. The Kro - Flite was first manufactured in the 1920's and eventually became one of Spalding's most popular brands. The ball is marked 'Spalding' on one pole and 'Kro-Flite' on the other with four black squares around the lettering.
