c.1913 Dimple Pattern Rubber Core Golf Ball
This antique golf ball features a dimpled surface pattern, a design that replaced the earlier bramble pattern during the first decade of the 20th century. The ball is constructed with a two-piece cover molded over a core, and a visible seam line bisects the sphere. The surface displays an impressed circular inscription with a central stylized character. The legible portions of the molded text include the characters PATS, FEB 4-08, and DEC 30 13. These patent dates, February 4, 1908, and December 30, 1913, correspond to early dimple-pattern ball designs. The exterior has a dark brown, weathered finish resulting from the loss of the original white surface coating and the subsequent oxidation of the composition material..
