SylvaC Black Scottie Dog Point Of Sale Advert For Golf Balls.
The countertop North British Rubber Co. Scottie dog would have been a display piece in a pro shop advertising 'North British' golf balls and used to encourage the golfer to use their balls. The Scottie dog has a tartan collar and is holding a golf ball in its mouth - the ball still retains much of "North British" stamp mark. The base impressed with Reg. No 778504 and Production No. 1209. Made by SylvaC (with a deliberate capital C at the end) for North British Rubber Co. of Edinburgh. North British Rubber Co., Ltd. took over another golf ball manufacture, Hutchison Main & Co., in 1912.
A great collectable for the golfer or Scottie dog enthusiast.
SylvaC is a brand of British ornamental pottery known primarily for its figurines of animals and Toby Jugs.
