is our premier and most widely recognized product. It's a perfect tournament award, memento, or personal gift item. This is the original "EVOLUTION" display that remains unequaled in quality and authenticity. It authentically replicates the primary balls used throughout the really development of golf. This meticulously crafted, museum-quality reproduction measures 3" x 4" x 16 1/2". It features six individually finished, actual size golf balls displayed on a hand rubbed, hardwood base and is topped with a formed acrylic display cover. A brass plate identifying each ball is mounted on the front and a highly detailed history of each ball is underneath the felt padded base. We use a Titleist ball for the Modern Ball example but a supplied logoed or special ball of your choice can be mounted in its place. A presentation plate can be mounted on the display top. Price - $219

Our famous "EVOLUTION" display is also available as a magnificent shadow box wall display. It reflects all of the beauty and quality of the original free standing piece but fulfills the requests we've received from golf enthusiasts and collectors who desire a wall hanging with complete descriptive information on the face. The hand rubbed and stained dark oak frame contains the six historic ball examples in 3/4 relief mounted against a rich velvet textured background and detailed information regarding each ball is printed on brass plates. This is a truly elegant item that may also be personalized. The 25" x 7 ½" x 3" frame has been specially designed to accommodate a narrow brass plate for presentation. Price - $239

The Classic Craftsmen Duo Display depicts the "Alpha & Omega" of golf balls. It features our perfectly replicated Feathery Ball and a Titleist Number 1 ball (or a supplied logoed or special ball of your choice) on a hand rubbed, American Black Walnut base and is topped with a formed acrylic display cover. A brass title plate is mounted on the base front and a detailed description of golf ball history is underneath on the felt padded base.  The display measures 7" x 4" x 5". This is an excellent individual gift or has been frequently used as a secondary tournament award in conjunction with our Classic or Wall Evolution displays. Price - $65

The Classic Craftsmen Feathery Cube was initially designed to feature our classic Feathery ball replica. It is normally sold in that form, but we also supply it as a display cube containing any of our other past era balls. Additionally, we can mount a treasured HOLE IN ONE ball in the cube and provide an engraved plate detailing name, course, date, etc. The cube base is solid, American walnut and the acrylic top is hand formed. The base is felt padded and, when supplied with an era ball, a detailed description of the ball appears on the base bottom. The display measures 4" x 4" x 4 1/2". Our Cube Display has been frequently used in conjunction with our larger displays as a tournament award. Price - $38

the Captain of the Society of Golfers at Blackheath in 1778 is the historic figure depicted in golf's first and most famous print. The original painting and subsequent prints are the most reproduced in the world of golf. In those early days, before many of the fine points of golf rules were set, the winner of a golf club’s annual tournament was proclaimed the "Captain" and served as the arbitrator of golf rule disputes. He was the "Captain of Gentlemen Golfers".

We commissioned the highly acclaimed Virginia sculptor, Klara Sever, to create our 18" high, sculpture of William Innes. Now, William Innes is available in full dimension and is cast in "Dura-stone". This ceramic material is the base material from which sculpture reproductions sold in museum stores are cast. 

The figure has an oxidized, bronze finish and comes with a solid, black walnut base. It grasps a removable metal putter. Innes is dressed in the golf garb of his day, when privileged golfers wore very special clothing, and the color of their hats was determined by their golfing skill (that's the origin of the term "handicap"). This is a large, impressive piece at an extremely low price. Like all of our work, this piece is exclusive and proprietary to The Design Shop, and we are proud to offer this distinctive sculpture at a price well below others of comparable quality and importance. This piece has been used in homes, offices, and country club displays and has also been used by the USGA at Far Hills Golf House and in their traveling exhibits. Price - $135

Base - 8 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 1 1/4" Total Height - 19 " 

The Making of the Feathery print is our high quality, lithograph of a painting by Richard Loehle of Atlanta, Georgia. This handsome print depicts a still life of historic golf clubs, tools of the "Feathery" ball makers, and a "Gentleman's Top Hat" of feathers used to stuff the balls that served golf for almost four hundred years. 

The 18" x 24" print has a 14" x 18" image. This print is a perfect compliment to any den, office, or golf related room and an excellent companion piece to any historic golf memorabilia and is priced well below prints of comparable quality. Price - $39
