<font face="Arial"><font size="4">This is an early smooth face iron by Wm. Park. The Park family from Musselburgh won seven Open Championships. They made clubs and balls for six decades beginning in the 1860s.<br><br></font></font><font face="Arial"><font size="4"><font face="Arial"><font size="4">This iron appears to be from the 1890s. The oval W PARK name stamp is very visible. The KE in the middle line, MAKER, is not readable. MUSSELBURGH is very visible. <br><br>The blade measures 3 5/8" long. The hosel measures 3" from the top of the blade to the top of the hosel. The loft is 28*. <br><br>The club is 38" long. The original shaft has a very nice WM PARK name stamp below the grip and it is pretty straight. When I bought this club there were some wraps of whipping just above the hosel that I removed. One of the photos reveals a few hairline stress cracks in that area. The user of this club put the wraps on for added strength. The grip is a very old smooth leather wrap, well worn. The swing weight is D6. The head has a slight wiggle to the shaft. <br><br></font>This classic piece of early golf history. Buy with confidence.</font> <br><br>I ship ONLY within the USA. <br></font></font>
