1920's Scottie Dog Advertising Figure

       Offered here is one of the most famous golf advertising figures in existence. This piece comes from one of the most prominent golf advertising collections, and is among the finest such examples in the world.

        The “Scottie Dog” is an Advertisement for the North British Twin Dot Golf Ball, and was made in Edinburgh, Scotland. More than one version was produced, this being the highly desirable metal version with the dog on a North British base.

        Other examples of the famous Scottie Dog figure (in our opinion, lesser examples) are prominently featured in the following golf memorabilia books: Antique Golf Collectibles by Chuck Furjanic; Golf Antiques by John and Mort Olman; and Golf Implements and Golf Memorabilia by McGimpsey & Neech.

        This original 90+ year old North British “Scottie Dog” advertising figure is in excellent condition, and measures 13” tall.
