Description
<p>Way back when Jim Cooper published his guide to Spalding golf clubs, he used a rubbing taken from one of these irons. Cooper didn't own one even though he probably had 1,000 hickories. Jim identified this model as the very first store line clubs offered by Wright & Ditson. He placed it at 1895.<p/><p>This club has the loft of perhaps a 4 iron. It measures 39" and the shaft has the St. Andrews curvature.. The iron head retains only about 25% of its original finish. Only very slight dings. It appears to be a re-shafted club, judging from the less than perfect hosel/shaft joint. Looks like original leather grip over underlisting. Aman size grip indeed. There is a tin butt cap which is knurled all around. I've never seen another like it.<p/> <p>See my other auctions. I combine shipping on multiple purchases.<p/>
