It says it on the box mate - £2.99.

If the price is decimal then they must be after 1971.

£2.99 for a dozen golf balls. Those were the days.

Goblin were the cheapo option. If that was the price shortly after decimalisation, the Dunlop 65 would have been over £4 a dozen.

Goblins would cut very easily.
Commandos were a bit more durable.

Any value now would be as a curiosity or an ornament. Hard to put a value on such a quirk.

Even when I didn’t know much about golf balls - I knew the feel of a more decent ball, and if I didn’t have one I knew that Goblins were rubbish and on a par with Commandos and Warwicks…I’d choose to play a slightly damaged Dunlop 65 rather than a Goblin, Commando or Warwick. Now if it was a box of Uniroyal Plus6s…

Isn't saying Commandos were a bit more durable a bit like looking at a diamond after you've thrown feathers at it...?
