1939 North British Golf Ball

Advertising Calendar

        In this auction, we are pleased to bring you some of the finest pieces of golf advertisements in the world. This collection was painstakingly assembled by our consignor over the past 20+ years, and many of them represent the finest examples in the hobby.

        This is a rare original advertising calendar for The North British Rubber Co. Ltd., which produced very popular golf balls in the 1930's.

        This large wall calendar was likely produced for a sporting goods store or department store in the U.K. in 1939. It depicts the golf course and an early golfer from the Royal Burgess Golfing Society.

        The back of this advertising calendar contains more information about Royal Burgess, as well as the North British golf ball.

        This original 1939 piece measures 15" x 16".
