Scarce Antique Vintage Hickory Shaft Lefty Slazenger Emperor Putter

This item is a LEFT HANDED antique hickory shafted 34.25" (measured from the heel to the top of the grip) putter. Very unusual wooden mallet head with swan neck. Cross hatched brass face plate and unusual sighting arrangement on top. Lead back weight. As made and not altered. Called the Emperor Putter and made by Slazenger around 1900. Has Slazenger New York on the toe and Slazenger on the shaft. The head is in good condition and without cracks. The finish appears to be original as does the hosel whipping. Please look at the many zoom pictures to get a better idea of condition. The shaft the old original marked hickory. It is straight, I see no cracks and it is tight at the head. The grip is an old long built up leather wrap that is in fair vintage condition with some separation and tape residue at the top. Jeff Ellis sold his at auction for $1375.     Shipping in the US is calculated for this item and based on a 2 pound box and does include insurance.
