Circa 1930s Papier Mache

Tommy Armour Golf Ball Counter Display

    This is a scarce circa 1930s papier mache advertising piece for Tommy Armour golf balls. This is the only such example we've ever seen, which is no surprise due to the extreme delicate nature of papier mache. Papier mache golf shop advertising pieces were once popular - the most famous being the Silver King figure from the 1910s which sold for over $60,000 in our Spring Golf Auction). But the fact that any original papier mache counter displays have survived for several decades is remarkable. This impressive golf ball advertisement measures 9.5" tall.
