This is an early heavy rut iron with a very thick hosel by Wm Park. The Park family from Musselburgh won seven Open Championships over three decades. The W PARK name stamp is weak on the head but partly visible. The 3" blade has a slight curve shape. The joint has a squared look indicative of older irons. The thick hosel is 4 5/8" long with thicker cut knicking. This club is 38 1/2" long with a loft of 47*. The swing weight is off the chart at H+. The shaft is lemmonwood, one of Park's favorite shaft choices. The Wm PARK is very clear on the shaft just below the russet period grip that has been built up with period linen listing as can be seen in the photo.The last photo shows this club's hosel next to a 1920s niblick hosel to show the huge difference in the shape of these hosels, pre 1890 to post 1920. This is a very scarce and choice piece of early golf history. Buy with confidence.
