Mike Just's All Leather Carry Bag MacKenzie Jacobsen Model Just Collection

As many of you who are active in hickory golf already know our good friend Mike Just, the owner of Louisville Golf, passed away recently after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Mike was a talented craftsman when it came to working with wood and working on clubs. Mike also played in numerous hickory events including pre 1900 gutty ball events and post 1900 hickory events. He carried on his personal life and his business “In The Spirit of the Game”. While not a huge collector of antique clubs, Mike enjoyed clubs from his home town of Louisville, Ky. Mike’s family recently entrusted me with his collection and I will offering it on eBay in the coming weeks. There should be a little something for hickory players and collectors alike so please check back often. This item is a classic made in the US all leather golf carry bag. Made by The MacKenzie Bag Company of Portland Oregon. You can go to their web site to learn more about them (over $900 if new). This their Peter Jacobsen The bag is approximately 34.5" tall with a 7" top opening. Heavy duty fine leather. Enough storage area for a round of golf. Divider in the top. This bag has a metal stay in it that keeps it relatively rigid. It was originally a gray color but has aged nicely to a much lighter shade of gray. I see no rips or tears in the leather. Zippers work fine. I do see one issue. The swivel attachment between the top of the strap and the bag is broken and has been repaired with zip ties. The bag still appears to carry all right. I suspect this is an easy repair either by MacKenzie or by locating the correct piece at a hardware store and installing it. This bag belonged to and was used by Mike Just for many years. Please look at the zoom pictures as they should accurately represent the condition. Carry it proudly in memory of Mike.      Shipping in the US is calculated for this item and based on a 9 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 it 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. International shipping will be calculated via Priority Mail and also based on a 9 pound box. It will vary by destination but will be much higher. 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.
