c.1930's Penfold Man On Wooden Base with Larger Pipe
Preserved nearly 100 years is this 1930's Penfold Man display statue with an elongated jet black pipe in mouth. A staple in the ever popular point of sale advertising figure statue category alongside its companion pieces the Dunlop Man, Silver King and Queen, and North British Scottish Terrier. The Penfold Man was strategically placed in pro shops in the 1920-40s as advertising, with obvious visual intrigue to the golfing consumer. The slogan "He Played a Penfold" is in raised, white print on the front of the black base. The substantial size and good condition of this piece is sure to catch the eye of many bidders. Founded in 1927 by Albert Ernest Penfold, Penfold Golf Ltd. was a British manufacturer of golf balls, gloves, and other equipment. Own a piece of vintage advertising golf history and perhaps new collection focal point with this lot.
