Description
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.
This iron appears to be circa 1890. The oval W PARK name stamp is very clear. The only weak letters are the KE in the middle line, MAKER. MUSSELBURGH is clear.
The blade measures 3 1/4" long from heel to toe. The face is 1 3/4" deep down the center of the face. The hosel measures 3" from the top of the blade to the top of the hosel. The loft measures 36*.
The club is 38" long. The original shaft has a nice WM PARK name stamp below the grip. The letters E K appear on the hosel, very likely the owner's initials. There is a slight bow to the shaft. The grip is a very old smooth leather wrap, somewhat frayed at both ends. The swing weight comes in at D4. The head feels tight to the shaft.
This classic piece of early golf history will make a very impressive addition to your collection. Buy with confidence.
