Vintage & Collector Golf Ball Treasure Hunt - Who Made This Mesh Ball?

Have You Seen This Ball?
I have many different vintage golf balls, however, one in particular has got me on a mission to discover its origins. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Here it is:

The Unknown Ball
(Vintage Collectible Golf Ball)
VS
The Cudahay's Puritan 
Bramble, Mesh, Gutty Gutta Percha Golf Ball

I have determined this is a "mesh" ball manufactured around 1925, plus the following: 

Possible Manufacturers:

1. J.H. Taylor’s Company’s “JH” Mesh Ball Circa 1925 (Pictured Directly Below) OR JH Bramble circa 1915?
2. Worthington




Could it be a Cudahay's Puritan? 

I believe Cudahay's Puritan golf balls were also manufactured by J.H. Taylor's Company's and distributed by Thomas & Wilson & Co. (aka Wilson, Thomas E., Chicago)
