1899 Haskell Bramble

Gutta Percha Golf Ball

         The Haskell patent ball was one of the greatest single inventions in golf. The new ball was made by the Goodrich Tire and Rubber Co, of Arran, Ohio and called after its inventor, Coburn Haskell . It was the first golf ball made with a centre core, wound with elastic tape and then covered.

          This original Haskell ball features the patent date of 1899, which is easily readable on the ball.
