Antique Vintage Hickory Shaft Roberts Bulldog 19* Loft UK Made

This item is an antique vintage  hickory shaft 40.25" wood. Full radiused wrap around sole plate. Bulldog style head with insert and 19* loft. Marked Percy Roberts and Ainsdale on the crown. Roberts was at Ainsdale from 1911-32. UK made but I can't tell you who the maker was. The head is in good condition. Has the expected play nicks and dings and finish wear but I see no cracks. Please look at the zoom pictures as they should accurately represent the condition. The shaft is the old unmarked hickory. It is straight, I see no cracks and it is tight at the hosel. Feels like a stiff flex to me. The grip is an old long all weather wrap and it is in fair vintage condition. A 5 swingweight if you are considering play. Like so many old woods weight needs to be added under the sole plate for play. I make absolutely no guarantees against breakage if you put one of these old woods into play.    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.
