1918 patented Chicago Screw Co. golf ball marking device

This lever action device was made by the Chicago Screw Co. and is stamped with a 1918 patent date. The print blocks with the initials “WHV” remain in the device. The lever depresses a piston which would push down a ball into the print blocks and leave an impression of the initials on the ball. This is a rare golf accessory item that still presents as functional and makes a unique addition to any golf collection. 4 1/2" x 5".
