Early 1900'S Wright + Ditson Pecora Golf Ball Enamel
Contained in this lot is a turn-of-the-20th-century can of Pecora Rhino Paint Brand Golf Ball Enamel - Philadelphia, Pa with strong graphics. Categorize this piece under those that you don't see often. Their 1911 advertisement in 'Golf' publication likely sheds the product in the best and most accurate light, as its consumer pitch states: "Golssy white-always, water-proof. Weather-proof. Forms a tough, elastic surface that will not crack, check, chip, peel nor blister. Easily, quickly put on by hand. Price 25 cents per can. Enough for 50 new balls. At your dealer's, or give us his name and send 25 cents, and we will send at once." This pitch was given by the Pecora Golf Ball Enamel brand that was established in 1862. Their rhinoceros logo matches their product in toughness and is illustrated on this royal blue can circa 1914. This example has some (expected) label wear, please see the accompanying lot photos.
