Another great old golf ball box.  The hinge tape in the back of the box has come off. Would be easy to put the box back in perfect working condition. The original hinge tape has fallen off, not torn in half, and is still in the box.  Get the proper glue and this box is back in perfect working condition.

Note that in his book "Story of the Golf Ball, Kevin McGimpsey states that the "Cone Zodiac standard size and Weight" —as is marked on this box—dates to 1921. Printed on the box, however, is a 1914 patent and a registered design number that also dates to 1914 that covered the Cone Zodiac ball.
