Antique Hickory Shaft Scarce Chuck Kocsis Signature Putter

This item is an antique right handed 33.75" putter. Marked simply Chuck Kocsis on the back. As many of you know, Chuck was a famous amateur golfer that is a member of the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame. Chuck was born in 1913 and originally played during the hickory shaft era. Chuck passed away at 93 in 2016. He won multiple Michigan events and was low amateur at both the Masters and U S Open on multiple occasions and played on three Walker Cup teams. He also won an NCAA individual title while playing collegiate golf for Michigan. I believe Chuck was always an amateur and never had any agreement with any manufacturer to make clubs with his signature on them. This particular putter has simply Chuck Kocsis on the back. The putter is a old offset blade type with dot punch face scoring. It appears that a weighted plate has been professionally attached to the back and that is where the Kocsis signature is. This plate obscures the actual maker of the club. Sets up nicely and has good feel. Chuck evidently was an old school golfer, tinkerer and collector. I suspect this putter was one of his personal putters that he used but have no way of proving it. Searched for other Kocsis owned putters and found several that brought big bucks at auction. One also had a similar Chuck Kocsis name stamped-most likely aftermarket by Chuck himself. The head on this putter is in good clean vintage condition. Has the expected play nicks and dings. Please look at the many zoom pictures to get a better idea of condition. The shaft is an old hickory.  The shaft is straight, I see no cracks and it has some play at the hosel. All hickory shafted irons should be reset prior to play. The grip is a more recent replaced Golf Pride Classic rubber that is dry and slick with age. A C 4 swingweight if you are considering play. This is a wide flanged sole putter.    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.
