Here is a very rare Alex Patrick of Leven Scotland, splice neck wood, circa: 1900. It has a pear shaped head with a scored line face design. Its condition is good, the marking on the head are clear and visible. The club was lightly cleaned and the head was carefully hand-polished to remove the oxidation and years of neglect. Alexander Patrick
Leven
Alex served his apprenticeship in Leven with his father, John, a cabinetmaker who turned to making clubs, and he inherited the business in 1866 when his father succumbed in the cholera epidemic of that year. A good amateur with the Leven club, he left for Royal Wimbledon in 1886 to become professional there (pipping Willie Park to the job) with a salary of 30 shillings a week and a free shop. He left James Kinnell to look after the Leven operation. In 1891 he returned to Leven and recommended his brother, , take charge at Wimbledon which the committee accepted though cut the salary drastically and made him greenkeeper rather than professional. Alex’s association with the club seems to have been a happy one as he called his house in Leven Wimbledon Villa.The firm's early cleek mark was a spur. Later it is of a lady walking through a horseshoe, either carrying water from a well, as some sources say, or taking her washing to the public drying green of the links, according to Alick Watt. Popular clubs included bulldog and pug brassies and, later, a 'signature' range for Archie Compston, the Open runner-up in 1925. He exhibited at the 1922 British Industries Fair showing DJS and Acme clubs.At some point the business was sold to David Sellars (Patrick retired ‘after the [First World] War’) who continued to trade using the Alex Patrick name (as the advertisement from a 1927 tradeshow illustrates) but the business was bankrupt when Sellars died in 1936.Alex Patrick himself died in 1932 and, a keen member of the Leven Amateur Musical Association, he left them £500 in his will.The head measures a lengthy 3 inches and it is 1.25 inches deep. The club is 42.5 inches long. The shaft appears to be the original and the grip is also the original, I believe, see photo. The head is tight to the shaft with no wobble and no cracks that are visible. This club could make an excellent player or a great addition to a collection.
