Description
This is an early semi long nose 19th century splice neck spoon by Wm Park. The Park family from Musselburgh won seven Open Championships over three decades.
The head is dark stained, probably Beech. It has a full brass plate on the sole. The Wm PARK name is bold on the crown. The shaft has a Wm PARK name stamp just below the grip. The splice whipping has been replaced. There is a short piece of whipping on the shaft just above the splice whipping. The russet grip looks to be original.
This club dates to about 1890. The spoon shaped head has loft of approx 18*. It is 40 1/2" long from the tip of the shaft to the heel of the head. The head is 4 1/8" long and 1 7/8" wide at the widest point of the crown. The face depth is 1 3/8". The leading edge of the ram's horn is in wonderful condition as is the sole plate.
This is a very nice piece of early golf history. Buy with confidence.
