According to McGimipsey's book, The Story of the Golf Ball, this bramble ball marked "Helsby Maker" on one pole and "National" on the other pole with both poles having a red dot was made in 1910 by the Telegraph Manufacturing Company.  There is no known ballmaker named Helsby, which was the name of a small town in England. The fact that one pole is marked "Helsby Maker" does give one pause to at least consider the possibility that Helsby was once home to a small ballmaker.

This rubber core ball does not have any strike marks and still retains the large majority of its paint. It most likely received little to no use.
