Is this not the largest tee ever designed for actual use on a golf course?  Could Be! The auctioneer has not seen anything larger, at least not anything that originally sold at retail.

The top of this giant 4-in-1 multi-tee with 4 rubber arms is marked in relief "Nice Tee, Tahata Rubber Co. Ltd" along with "TGK" inside a small diamond. The rubber arms contain 4 tees with different heights so it could be used 4 ways.  No matter if the golfer needed to play an iron off a par three, a fairway wood onto a tight fairway, or hit a driver the golfer couid find the tee with just the right height on this one multi-tee. 

This 4-in-1 tee measures 8 1/4 inches from the tip of one arm to the tip of the opposite arm. With all of its variety and the promise of never losing a tee or even breaking one, this big boy had it all! ...except...it was a monster to get in and out of the golfer's pocket!  All kidding aside, it's overall size was not appealing to golfers—at all.  But if you just wanted to display a few balls (or own one of the largest if not the largest tee ever sold at retail) it is Killer!  

The four balls in the one pictures are not part of this lot.  They are offered separately elsewhere in this auction: (upper left - Gourlay feather ball lot 15; upper right - Musselburgh gutta Percha ball lot 171; lower left - hand-hammered gutta percha ball lot 172;  lower right - The Rex gutta Percha ball lot 168;
