oldcoinlover New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 06/16/2012 3:27 pm There is a Tilden Park golf course and an Indian Valley golf course in California, and also a town - Palo Alto in California too. Interesting find. I wonder how it ended up on the other side of the world. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 06/16/2012 5:16 pm That's pretty interesting. It's kind of amazing that anyone bothered to save it ...unless they were professional golfers or something. I wouldn't know. But the dates kind of make me think they met up only a couple of times a year -- and perhaps the last winner held onto it because another match was expected. Thanks for sharing.

dooly Valued Member United Kingdom 348 Posts	Posted 06/16/2012 5:27 pm It is strange what people will keep for the sentiment .. saying that I have had a offer on it and it will be heading back to the usa to a top dime collector .. so it just shows you I wonder if this is the company who made the label http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avery_Dennison Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 06/16/2012 6:18 pm I think that is the same company and the page you linked has a link to that company. You could post them to find out....maybe they're interested too! You could start a bidding war. LOL Report this Post to the Staff
OneBowl Pillar of the Community United States 759 Posts	Posted 06/16/2012 7:21 pm Tilden is in Berkeley, CA and Palo Alto is about 30 miles south of San Francisco and both can be played in January. What's most amazing is someone drove a ball over 390 yards with persimmon woods in 1959! Report this Post to the Staff
