These twelve mint Tommy Armour The Scotsman golf balls, in four sleeves, were made by Worthington and sold for $1 each.  These c. 1950s balls had a liquid center and were the top of the line Armour ball back in the day.  The box is designed to be a point of sale, pop up display, but it has never been set up.  In "perfect" condition.  Colorful writing on each ball. 

Tommy Armour was once a giant in the game of golf.  He won the 1927 US Open, 1930 PGA, 1931 British Open, three Canadian Opens, the 1929 Western Open, and a total of 25 PGA Tour wins.   "The Silver Scot," as he was eventually nicknamed, was endorsing clubs and balls for the Great Lake Golf Company by 1927 and continued to do so for a number of years before he was hired, by 1938, to design clubs for MacGregor.
