Scarce Antique Vintage Hickory Shaft Walter Hagen Spoon Patented Boyden Shaft

This item is an antique right handed 41.75" wood. No markings on the crown but unmistakably a Walter Hagen/L A Young Co product from the International Series. Has the one piece brass partial face/sole plate. Marked Spoon on the sole. You rarely see these with wooden shafts. The head is in fair condition. I see no cracks but it does have finish wear and there is a ding on the face and the leading edge of the brass plate. Please look at the many zoom pictures to get a better idea of condition. The shaft is a rarely seen Boyden Patent. Please see the pictures of the two different Boyden patents. This shaft does not appear to be the bamboo one. The shaft is straight, I see no cracks and it is whipped at the bottom. It is marked with the Patent info. The grip is an old long leather wrap that is in good vintage condition. Hard to find collectible.   Shipping in the US is calculated and based on a 2 pound box. This item shipped Priority Mail. For those of you that never ship but only receive items, the further you are from me in NC to more shipping will be. That is the way the USPS charges. On top of that, eBay and Paypal take almost 15% of what I receive for shipping (out of $10 I receive $8.50) and I would like to break even. Shipping to foreign countries is also calculated and will be much higher. In accordance with the current Ebay policy I am only allowed to state that I accept payment via Paypal. NC residents must add 7.5% sales tax.
