Antique Vintage Hickory Shaft Louisville Golf 50* Mashie Niblick 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 an right handed hickory shaft 36 1/4" iron. Made by Louisville Golf from their E Just & Bros series. Tom Stewart Celtic style mashie niblick copy. 50* loft and a C 7 swingweight. Not your normal club as the standard mashie niblick has 44* loft. There is a hand stamped 50 on the back and a triple stamped P on the sole. This was a custom club for Mike's own personal use as a pitching club-that is what mashie niblicks were used for back then. The shaft also has Mike's initials MCJ stamped on it. The head is in good clean used condition. Please look at the zoom pictures as they should accurately represent the condition. The shaft is the original marked hickory. It is straight. I see no cracks and it is tight at the hosel. The grip is a newer long leather wrap. Mike sometimes used this in his play set. Great player with some sentimental history as well.    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 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 2 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.
