This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/4/2024
c. 1935 Burbank Swirl Streamline Plus by Stowe & Woodward Golf Ball
There is no mistaking this once heavily advertised ball supposed fix to your hook out of the Boston, Massachusetts based Stowe-Woodward shop nearly 90 years ago with its contemporaries. The 'Burbank Swirl' golf ball design was in a league of its own, straying from all industry norms, and printed in leading 1935 publications such as 'Golf Illustrated', "The American Golfer' and 'Golfdom.' One such advertisement boasted: "It is different from any other golf ball you have ever seen. Every curve, every 'hill' and 'vale' is there for a purpose - to make the ball go straighter. And because of them the Burbank Streamline lessens hooking and slicing by 5 to 15 yards. Try one and see. Approved by USGA. Sold through Pros only." Burbank-Burbank and Streamline-Plus-Plus are added in navy blue inset paint on each pole. This ball exhibits zero strike marks that we see, with a single spot of missing cover that remains as the only blemish other than the expected crazing.
