Circa 1910's The Colonel

Metal Golf Ball Box

        The Colonel golf balls were among the most popular golf balls of the 1910' to 1930's. Offered here is certainly one of the earlist Colonel golf ball boxes we've ever seen. This is a Metal golf ball box dating to approximately the 1910's, when the manufacturer St. Mungo Manufacturing Company only had locations in Scotland and England (they would eventually expend throughout the globe). This metal box was produced for the "White" Colonel golf balls and was produced in Govan, Scotland.
