Here is a MacGregor, Dayton OH, fancy face spoon (Yardsmore Inlay X-A). This club has a very unique fancy face design with a brass sole plate that shows the Patent year (Mar 1923). This club is in very good condition. The club was lightly cleaned and the head was carefully hand-polished to remove the oxidation and years of neglect. MacGregor

Before starting to make golf clubs they had spent over 60 years producing shoe lasts as the Crawford, McGregor & Canby Co. (The partner spelled his name Mc but the brand was MacGregor - no, I don't know either but it was suggested that they felt this was more Scottish. Mc having an Irish connotation. The distinction is nonsense but it is a quite widespread misapprehension even among Scots). There were hundreds of models produced by the firm. Reputedly the first makers to use persimmon for driver heads, the wood they used for the shoe lasts.It is said that at the end of the hickory shaft era, MacGregor still had 300,000 hickory squares in drying barns which were then of so little value they were used as fuel for the factory boilers.They were taken over by the in the 1930s but the MacGregor brand was stronger so, after a short while, MacGregor-Goldsmith became MacGregor.The head measures a lengthy 3 inches and the club face in 1.25 inch deep. The club is approximately 42.5 inches long. The shaft is the original and has the Macgregor stampings on the shaft, the grip also appears to be original, in very good condition with normal wear and tear (I can replace the grip with a same era grip if requested), see photos. The head is tight to the hosel when you twist it. This club would make a very nice player, or great addition to anyone’s collection.
