Remnants of a Feathery Golf Ball in Plastic Container
An unmarked Feathery golf ball remnants dating back to the late-1840s is available in this lot. Feathery golf balls were difficult to make, and took time and precision to make the balls, that were made of goose feathers wrapped in untanned bullhide or horsehide. The feathery ball period ranged from 1440-1848, an incredible amount of time as the game of golf changed dramatically during that time, just not the ball itself. Feathery golf balls' popularity didn't pick up until the 1600s, due to the difficulty in constructing the ball and the widespread acceptance of wooden balls for play. The unmarked feathery ball's cover pieces are offered here. Golf historians and golf ball collectors should perk up for this lot, an educational tool to teach the history of the game to future generations.
