A rare hand hammered gutta percha ball in excellent condition. Hi ammeter in the style known as the "Forgan pattern". Such balls date between 1855 and 1875. This ball is made of rarer red gutta percha. It has general wear commensurate with some use. It has strike marks but no cracks. The paint is original..it has not been repainted. A beautiful treasure that would grace any collection of antique golf balls. regards Gavin Bottrell TimewarpGolf
