This is your chance to own what has to be one of the very few still existing "disappearing" tees! As advertised in Golfer's Magazine in 1921, "The ALWAYS READY tee is guaranteed to hold its form if kept in a dry place and allowed to remain in the box until used. ALWAYS READY tees are composed mainly of sand, therefore they will crumble after being in the open over night thereby absorbing the moisture of the damp atmosphere. Once used, always used. Just the thing for the ladies." This disposable golf ball sand tee (for uniform driving) was manufactured by J.S. Doe & Sons out of Burnham, Ill. and is still perfectly in tact.

A copy of the 1921 Golfer's Magazine ad is shown in the images. The celluloid tee in the images is shown for perspective and is not part of this lot.

This tee is in the front middle area of the group image.
