Antique Vintage Wood Shaft McDougal Patented Adjustable Aluminum Mallet Putter

This item is an antique vintage right handed 34" aluminum head mallet putter. Heel shafted with T Square aiming/alignment inserts on the top. Square dot face scoring. Patented by McDougal and sold by the Thistle Putter Co of NYC. The two large black inserts on the top are removed by unscrewing the two screws. Inside are springs and weights that allow the user to adjust the head weight and also the toe and heel balance. I have not removed the top plates but am confident that the springs and weights are still present. Total weight of around 16 ounces and a C 3 swingweight for play. The soft aluminum head is in good condition with the expected play nicks and dings. No hosel cracks. Please look at the multiple zoom pictures for a better idea of condition. The shaft is the old and most likely 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 1919 Patent club. Jeff Ellis sold one in his Southeby's auction for $1000 so this must be a steal.       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.
