Vintage Full Can of Halley's Golf Ball Enamel Paint

        Until ballmaking technology improved in the early 1900's, the paint did not adhere to a golf ball's surface very well.  As outlined on this original can of golf ball enamel paint, the best method of repainting was messy; it required the golfer to place a small amount of the enamel paint in a cupped hand and then roll the ball between his palms.  Presented here is a rare full can of Halley's Golf Ball Enamel Paint.  This can dates from the late 1800's, and is one of the finest examples we have ever seen.
