Halley's made their name in the golf ball market with their extremely successful gutty golf ball, the "Ocobo". It continued into the rubber core era with another "Ocobo" ball as well as other numerous additional models. Their club making operation started early 1900's with the heads coming from James Anderson of Anstruther. The clubs were firstly made for wholesale and later for retail.
