Classic Wright & Ditson Club Head Bookends with Golf Balls
Wright & Ditson was founded by baseball Hall of Famer George Wright and his business partner Henry Ditson in 1871 and produced sporting goods of all kinds, including golf clubs and balls. George Wright was responsible for bringing some of the most well known names in golf to the US around the turn of the century, convincing A. H. Findlay to come to the US and put his artistic touch to a line of clubs for Wright & Ditson, as well as playing a part in the Henry Vardon exhibition in 1900. Wright was also able to convince Albert Goodwill Spalding to leave his office work and venture into sporting goods. Offered here is a pair of bookends featuring Wright & Ditson club heads and golf balls. The bottom measures 6" x 3" and stands 8 5/8" tall.
