Offered here is what is believed to be the oldest known golf tin. This Middlemass golf-themed Biscuit Tin dates to approximately 1890 and was made in Scotland. Golf was exploding in popularity in the 1880s and 1890s, and this was one of the first pieces to ever use the game of a golf to advertise its product.
