Very rare, PLAYABLE iron-headed putter by the famed St. Andrews maker, Robert White, who taught both Tom Stewart and Robert Condie the craft.Light stamp, but you can see all of "R.White Maker ...ws"This club has the sharp crease between topline and hosel that indicates a pre-1890 manufacture and it is rare for an 1880s putter to have an iron head---most were wood heads.The club is 35" in length and has a nice weight to it that feels neither too heavy or too light. Playable for gutty golf or 1920s hickory golf.The original shaft is straight and solidly attached to head; replacement grip excellent; a rare collectible.These early Robert White clubs were made for play at the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland!
