The Yellow Tees were covered under a patent issued March 10, 1925, as stated on the box. According to their ad in the june 1927 issue of Golf Illustrated, each Yellow tee was "die molded, made of fibre and will not damage the lawn mower." Plus they would also improve your game by "registering on the bottom of the club how the ball is hit"!

Most Yellow Tees prominently advertise the maker, Morley Button Manufacturing Co."  This box, however, appears to predate those boxes as it does not include the Morley name on either the front or back, only in smaller print on one side.

The Yellow tee box is missing an ear and a piece off one end flap. 

The Arrow tee box, which holds wooden Arrow tees, is perfect. Arrow Tees were made by Golf Tee Co.
