GB14.ref:89150. Bramble Gutter Percha ball. (circa 1905). This ball contains a rubber core centre which is then covered with gutta percha.It was made by ''Curtis RCB''. The uniqueness is that it has a silver shield affixed to it inscribed Presented at the opening of the Queens Park Links to the Mayor of Bournmouth Alderman F.E.Beale Oct 25 1905. It would appear that a close relative of the above named mayor was a member of The Ferndown golf club. Along with the ball two booklets dated 1931 will be supplied one being Ferndown Golf Club list of members (listing a B,Beale) the other being The Ferndown golf club Rules with a temporary members and green fees loose leaf insert.

Forgan style hand hammered Gutta Percha ball, devoid of paint with possibly 4/5 strike marks otherwise in good condition. Because of the complete lack of any sign of paint to this ball leads me to believe that some of these very early balls were not neccessarily painted at all. The only other reason is that the early paints used were lacking in adesive quality for this then new material.

. Smooth Gutty ball. This ball has been in my collection for over twenty years. I originally purchased it from a collector who unfortunately is no longer with us. Apparently it was valued verbally by one of the main auction houses in 1990 who put a value on it of £1000.00. The reason it never went to auction was because I purchased virtually all of the collection. The sellar told me that it had come from a substantial property in Bournmouth. The small imperfections on this ball as shown in picture are very similar to a picture of a smooth gutty shown on page 49 of "Golf in The Making"
