Adorned with a strong makers mark of 'AUCTERLONIE' horizontally across the front middle of this circa 1880 percha golf ball, in this lot likes a fine example containing 95% of its original paint. The Auchterlonie brothers were well-known golf club and ball makers out of St. Andrews, and here we have a prime example of one of their products.
