Brass Dunlop Man Figurine on Marble Base
Here we have a brass Dunlop man figurine upon a marble base. This piece stands 4 1/2" tall and is in great condition. The golfer sits upon a ball that is attached to the marble base. This marketing item for the Dunlop company would sit on the retail counter tops of places that sold Dunlop merchandise. Dunlop began manufacturing rubber golf balls in 1910 and introduced the Maxfli ball in 1922.
**THE R. WAYNE PERKINS COLLECTION**
Wayne Perkins has dedicated a lifetime to education as a teacher for more than 40 years at the University of Evansville, where he served as the chair for the philosophy and religion departments. Out of this position, fellowships took him to England for assignments at the University of Leicester and Harlaxton College. While overseas, in the home of golf, Perkins devoted free time to scouring for his leisure passion decorative golf collectibles. By this time Perkins had already developed, through countless hours spent at ceramic trade shows and his scholarly skills as a meticulous researcher, the background knowledge necessary to easily navigate through the nuances at the highest levels of exquisite golf themed pottery. This time period in his life, along with his membership in The Golf Collectors Society since 1980 served as corner stones in the formation of a golf themed pottery collection which ranks at the "head of the class". Of special note in Wayne's collection is his unequaled holdings of Doulton Lambeth material along with it's out shoot Royal Doulton ceramics. It is an utmost honor for The Golf Auction to work with a gentleman of Wayne Perkins qualities and to offer the "fruits" of his lifetime pursuit of the finest of golf pottery to the golf collecting community
