A Collection of Vintage Golf Memorabilia Including New Haven Golfometer and Arnold Palmer Shell Promotional Brochure
An assortment of vintage golf memorabilia featuring instructional ephemera and specialty accessories. The collection includes a Wilson promotional ceramic coaster illustrated by Milton C. Weiler, depicting a golfer in mid-swing at a hole marked with a 443-yard marker. The circular ceramic insert is mounted in a green leather-wrapped frame with a black inner rim and a brown suede-finish backing. A New Haven Golfometer is included, designed as a pocket-style mechanical distance gauge for use on the course. The cream-colored dial features a primary yardage scale from 0 to 440 and a sub-dial measuring miles from 0 to 2.5. The device is housed in a polished metal case with a swivel-mounted belt clip and is marked New Haven Golfometer Yards and Made in U.S.A. Also present is an Arnold Palmer instructional brochure titled Percentage Golf by Arnold Palmer: Short Pitch to Green with Wedge. This tri-fold document was produced as Shell's Guide to Better Golf No. 2 for Shell Oil dealers and contains photographic instructional sequences and period advertisements for Shell products such as Methyl Benzine. Completing the collection is an Acushnet tie bar shaped like a Bull's Eye putter with a gold-toned finish and black grip. It is accompanied by its original red and white Acushnet presentation box and an unissued gift certificate for a Bull's Eye putter, numbered 16290 and issued by the Acushnet Process Sales Co. of New Bedford, Massachusetts.
