Scarce Original Dozen

1904 Haskell Gutta Percha

Golf Balls in Original Box

        Every once in a while, an item is discovered that drives the collector community into a frenzy. This is one such item.

        Offered here is a the rarest of the rare - an original complete dozen Haskell gutta percha bramble golf balls, complete in their original box, with original wrappers, and with the original 1904 Haskell warranty card!

        Haskells are among the most collectible golf balls in the world, with quality examples routinely fetching about $2,000 apiece. Well, what kind of value can be placed on a dozen untouched Haskells that each retain between 95-100% of their original paint? Surely the breakup value alone of this box of golf balls exceeds $30,000 - and that's without placing any added value to their original box and warranty card.

        Condition Notes: the balls are in new, untouched condition and retain between 95+-100% of their original paint. The box is worn and partially stained in areas.
