Original Box of 1894 Ocobo Gutta Percha
Golf Balls in Gem Mint Condition
Every once in a while, an item is discovered that drives the collector community
into a frenzy. Here is one such item. Circa 1894 Ocobo gutta percha balls have
always been highly-sought after in any condition, with average examples worth
over $1,200 and good examples fetching $1,500 to $2,000 each. But this box of
balls is something you've surely never seen before and will never see again.
This is an entire box of GEM MINT Ocobo gutties from 1894! The box itself shows
some wear, but take a look at the balls that have been perfectly preserved
inside! These almost 120 year old golf balls are so flawless that they literally
look like they were produced yesterday. This collection is simply
unimprovable - these aren't just the finest Ocobo gutties in existence,
they're surely the finest gutta percha examples in the hobby. While we'd love to
see these balls find a home together, the breakup value alone of this collection
would be tens of thousands of dollars.
