Early Golf Ball Advertising Postcard "The Falcon beats Bogey”


This postcard could be considered as representing an aggressive precedent setting step in the early “golf ball wars” between manufacturers. With this postcard, The North British Rubber Company in Edinburgh, manufacturers of the Falcon golf ball, provide the recipient with a hard-hitting depiction of their superiority over the Colonel Bogey themed golf balls manufactured by the St. Mungo Manufacturing Co. On the postcard a Falcon golf ball figure triumphantly stands on Colonel Bogey himself with a foot in his back leaving no doubt which ball claims to be better. This is an atypical 1910’s card with an unusually hostile theme for the times. The beautiful color and graphics, combined with its’ significance in golf ball advertising history give this card high. appeal. Would look great displayed with a Falcon and Colonel Bogey golf ball boxes.
