Circa 1910s Capon Heaton
Tin Golf Ball Box

Capon Heaton produced one of the finest-looking golf balls in history, when it made its famous star pattern golf ball in the early 1910s. Rather than a mesh pattern or dimples, the ball was patterned with five pointed stars inside a larger dimple. Those golf balls are unquestionably difficult to find; but you know what else is hard to find…?  The original Capon Heaton golf ball box. This circa 1910s tin golf ball box is in very good condition.
