Description
This is Wm. Park's 1920 patent wood. It has 24* of loft and has ridges on the sole to reduce friction in thick lies. It is 41" long. Because of the loft the somewhat diagonal face creates a depth of 3". The head has a more rounded look. The mark is faint and the patent #55286 can be seen along the bottom of the name stamp. The whipping is replacement. The grip is a period looking type replacement. There are no name markings on the shaft.
There was an extra wrap of whipping on the shaft above the splice whipping. This suggested to me that repairs may have been made. I removed this whipping to find an elongated chip (see photo), but no break. The owner of this club added the whipping to protect the shaft and extend its life. I feel that as a collectible it is better to leave that area uncovered and know rather than have it covered up and not know. This club is in very nice condition considering it was used a great deal in tough lies.
I ship ONLY within the USA.
This unique piece of early golf history will make a very impressive addition to your collection. Buy with confidence.
