c. 1915 Faroid Company 75 Golf Ball w/ Raised Centric Lines
This prized ball has distinct raised concentric ridges containing much of its original paint, once produced as an idiosyncratic solution to fix slices and hooks and now highly sought after. Stamped on each pole are the following words, "FAROID 75." With the equator bearing black capital lettering "LIQUID CENTER." The Faroid orb belongs to a group of highly collectible balls with unusual cover patterns. Invariably, these balls were commercial failures - thus their rarity. Apparently, the Faroid had to be teed correctly and struck at a certain angle to fly properly which probably limited its success once it was lying freely in the fairway. This example shows some usage and and crazing to remain in fair condition, but still very desirable due to its scarcity. A worthy addition to even the most advanced collection.
