Vardon Flyer Bramble

Gutta Percha Golf Ball

        The "Vardon Flyer" was introduced in 1899 by Spalding, made of the “finest gutta” and played by Harry Vardon in several major championship wins. It claimed to have improved length over the line cut gutta models. Although the gutta ball was soon to be replaced by the rubber wound ball, the bramble cover pattern would continue for ten more years.

        This ball is in good to very good condition.
