Antique Hickory Shaft Tom Stewart St Andrews Harry Vardon Totteridge

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 36 3/4" iron. Unmarked as to what club it is but looks like a driving mashie. Lined face, 16* loft and a B 1 swingweight. The lines on the face of this club are unlike any lines I have seen on other Tom Stewart lined face clubs. Much wider apart and fan out. Made by the famous cleek maker Tom Stewart of St Andrews Scotland. Has his famous Pipe cleek mark on the back. No registration information below the pipe so it is an early iron. Also has Harry Vardon Totteridge in an oval. Vardon won numerous events during his career including the U S Open and the Open Championship 6 times. He was also a noted club maker/designer.   The head is clean and not all rusted but does have a dark patina. 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 is straight, 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 leather wrap that is in good vintage condition. Great collectable iron.   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.
