Antique Hickory Shaft Gibson Scotland Harry Vardon Mongrel Iron FlossmoorChicago

I just received a number of irons including Tom Stewart irons to sell for a friend and will be listing them in the next several days so be sure to check back often and see my other clubs for sale. Simply click on See Other Items below my eBay name and feedback rating. If you are going to bid on multiple clubs and win one, please wait to pay until you are finished bidding as I will combine the shipping which will  save you some money. This listing is for an antique vintage hickory shaft right handed 39 1/4" iron. Marked Mongrel Iron on the back. Made by William Gibson of Kinghorn Scotland. Has the famous Harry Vardon's signature along with Harry Collis CC Flossmoor on the back. Lined face, 18* loft and a C 5 swingweight. Has Gibson's his famous Star cleek mark on the back.  Collis was the pro at Homewood Flossmoor, IL, in the Chicago area from 1907-26. This is a very unusual iron with a small musselback behind the center. Truly a mongrel without parentage. No doubt a club Harry Vardon developed and liked to use for specialty long iron shots. If you are a Vardon collector this is a rarely see club. The head is clean and not all rusted and has a dark patina to it. It has the expected minor play marks and dings. Please look at the zoom pictures for a better idea of condition. The shaft is an old unmarked hickory. It has a bend, I see no cracks and it has some play at the hosel (all hickory shafts irons should be reset prior to play). The grip is an old long all weather wrap that is in fair vintage condition. Great collectable iron with play potential.   Shipping in the US is calculated and based on a 2 pound box. The further you are from me in NC the more shipping will be-that is the way the carriers charge. Shipping  to foreign countries will be much higher and is also calculated. 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.
