Old guys: When was first "logo" ball made?

[hesitantly]

I have an old box of Wilson balls that has "Custom Made", and F-85.  I think these were precursors to today's "logo" balls.  (Wilson told me they never made a ball by that name.) If anybody here has been playing for 50 years, or so, maybe you can remember when "logo" balls became prevalent?  I couldn't find an answer with Google.

Been playing for 55 years. When I was young, big golf ball names were Spalding Dots, Dunlop Maxflis, Wilson Staff, Kroydon and Royal. Titleist was Acushnet and made Club Specials - good, cheap ball.

Don't recall seeing logo balls until the 60's, but have seen them on ebay from the 30's and they were just text stamped on balls from various companies.

Thanks for the reply, Tom; I was starting to feel invisible. Yeah, 60s and early 70s was when the F-85 Olds platform was in use, so that sounds about right.

Yea, and kinda remember logo balls were considered inferior. Sorta like any ball with someone's name on them. Sam Sneads, Cary Middlecoffs, Gary Players, Palmers, Tony Lema - all ended up in the shag bag...... even Hogan and Nicklaus balls were looked at with raised eyebrows. Hagens and Trevinos got thrown back in the creek.
