A 19th century Smooth Gutta Persha (Gutty) golf ball.For condition please see the pictures.These balls were made from a latex material obtained from the Malaysian Sapodilla tree predominately in the second part of the 19th century.The arrival of the gutta percha ball or "gutty", as it was called, revolutionized the game of golf and allowed its spread to the masses. The gutty period lasted from 1848 until the late 1890’s. A mere blink of an eye when compared to the feathery, but the Gutty had a much greater impact on the game of golf, due to its affordability, playability and durability.
