Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:6796124Shaft Material: Wood
Original Description:
Offered is a very scarce, 1870s, Scotland Maker, Long Nose, Mid Spoon, Wood Golf Club with original finish!

This rare, antique, hand-wrought golf club was recently acquired from the estate of a gentleman who had restored and collected golf clubs for 7 decades! His family, while settling his estate, remarked that he had "paid crazy prices for some of his collection!". This prized, rare club is certain to have been included in that category! This is the 3rd of 5 long nose clubs t...hat will eventually be offered.

This amazing club sports its original varnish surface and is offered in "as found" condition. The top of the club shows some loss of finish that is commensurate with an antique golf club.  The darkening of the finish results a wonderful patina. The club displays a lovely elegance owing to the gently-sculpted angling of the face. The face has a small knot near the top of the face that is original. The base sports its original horn on the leading edge. The club shows honorable wear and the base has signs of mild use with linear scuff marks beginning at the front portion of the inlaid horn. It measures 41 inches from the heel.
The skills of the craftsman are most apparent when the club is viewed from the top. While unmarked, this club displays the form of the exceptional, highly-skilled, Scottish club makers of the 19th century. The lead has been expertly applied to the back of the club, and the original twine adds to the club's character. The hickory shaft is undamaged and sports a warm, honey-colored surface. The leather grip was expertly replaced many years ago and has signs of gentle use.

A fabulous, rarely-found example of 19th century craftsmanship! A tangible example of exemplary golfing history!
