Antique Vintage Wood Shaft Burke Victory Wood Head Schenectady Style Putter

This item is a right handed 32" wooden head mallet putter. Center shafted in the Schenectady style. Marked Peter Robertson Special in an oval along with Victory on the crown. Made by Burke of Newark, OH for the pro Robertson. Robertson was the pro at Oakmont in the early 1900's and also held similar positions at Buffalo, NY, Fall River, MA, Yahnundasis Utica, NY and South Bend, IN. The putter has a very thick brass sole plate. The head is in good condition and I see no cracks. It does have the expected play nicks and dings and there is a more serious ding low on the lined face just above the sole plate. The finish to the head is pretty good. Please look at the multiple zoom pictures for a better idea of condition. The shaft is the old original unmarked hickory. It is straight, I see no cracks and it is tight at the hosel. The grip is an old long leather wrap that is in good vintage condition with whipping at the bottom. Hard to find Schenectady style wooden headed putter.       Shipping in the US is calculated for this item and based on a 2 pound box. The closer you are to me in NC (27712 zip) the less shipping will be. This is the way the carriers work and unfortunately shipping has become more expensive recently. On top of that, most buyers don't realize that eBay and Paypal take almost 15% of what I receive as stated shipping (out of $10 I only receive $8.50). International shipping will be via Priority Mail and also based on a 2 pound box. It will vary by destination so please ask before buying. 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.
