Produced by Martins-Birmingham Ltd in 1916, this 6-pole bramble ball is marked “Zodiac Pat” on one pole and “Martin’s Pat” on the other. Much of the paint has been worn away, but the lettering and propeller are still clearly visible. This ball shows no use to speak of. However, as shown in the pictures there is a significant break in the cover of the ball just below its Zodiac name on one pole. Even so, this ball will display exceptionally well if the "Martin's Pat" pole is placed front and center.
This ball is top row right in the group image that accompanies this lot.
