Very rare, all original "lofter" by the famed St. Andrews maker, Robert White, who taught both Tom Stewart and Robert Condie the craft.Light stamp, but you can see the "R.White Maker" part of the stamp.This club has the sharp crease between topline and hosel that indicates a pre-1890 manufacture; very large head.The club is 37 1/2" in length and has a heavy weight to it with a very flexible hickory shaft. Would need restoration of the grip to be playable for gutty golf.The original shaft has a slight upward bow to it and is solidly attached to head; the original grip displays nicely but is loose in spots with a small missing section as pictured.These early Robert White clubs were made for play at the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland! Great collectible.
