                 CIRCA 1895 CHARLES HUNTER SEMI LONG NOSE SHORT SPOONUp for sale is a true "war club" from the mid to late 1890's, used before the move was made to iron clubs.  This is a real collector's item.  Club is stamped C. HUNTER, for the same Charles Hunter that was an apprentice to - none other than the master himself - "Old Tom Morris".  Charles Hunter was apprentice to Old Tom and was one, of just a handful of professionals, that participated in the first Open Championship at Prestwick in 1860.  Hunter would go on to become a great clubmaker. He became the head professional at Westward Ho, returning to Prestwick after "Old Tom" took over as the head professional at The Old Course in St. Andrews after the death of Allan Robertson.  This is a real piece of history that anyone interested in the game of golf should want hanging on their wall!
