1899 Whitman & Barnes Catalog
Featuring Willie Dunn's Stars & Stripes Golf Ball

The Willie Dunn's Stars & Stripes golf ball is among the most sought after golf balls in the world, as few examples are known to exist. Despite the ball's extreme fame in the collecting community, collectors and authors have long debated over which manufacturer actually produced Winnie Dunn's Stars & Stripes ball.

Well, that debate can officially be put to rest. Offered here is a likely one-of-a-kind 24 page catalog from 1899 for Whitman & Barnes Manufacturing Company, makers of rubber goods and golf balls. This never before seen catalog proudly features the Willie Dunn's Stars & Stripes ball, as well as the rare W&B diamond pattern golf ball. Catalog measures 3 1/2" x 6", slight damage to top left.
