A charming cast brass counter bell in the form of a comical figure of a golf caddy with a golf ball for his head, standing on a larger golf ball. It dates to approximately the 1930s and was designed by the popular artist John Hassall (1868-1948). The figure was used to advertise Dunlop golf balls and also appeared as a car hood ornament. This is an early example with good crisp casting and lots of detail.
