Antique Vintage Bamboo&Hickory Shaft BTN Spoon Play/Display

This item is an antique right handed 42.75" wood. Marked Genuine BTN Model Spoon with a 1926 Patent date on the sole plate. Made by Butchart Nicolls company. Good sized head C 9 swingweight 17* loft and has play potential. The head is in good condition and looks like it has been lightly refinished. Please look at the many zoom pictures to get a better idea of condition. The shaft is an old original unmarked hickory and bamboo (hickory core with six pieces of bamboo laminated to the hickory). The shaft is straight, I see no cracks in the shaft and it feels like a stiff flex. The laminated bamboo is not separated. Not sure how it would play but some people play with these. The grip is an old long leather wrap that is in good vintage condition.    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.
