Antique Wm Park s/f iron; straight line mark; marked shaft; vintage golf history

This is an early smooth face iron by Wm Park.  It appears to be from the 1890s.  The Park family from Musselburgh won seven Open Championships over three decades.  The face of the blade is 3 1/2" across.  The hosel is quite thick.  The straight line PARK name stamp is very readable.  The PARK on the shaft is bold.  The grip is a leather wrap replacement.  The head is tight to the shaft.  The club is 38" long to the heel of the blade.  It has a loft of 32* and has a swing weight of C-7.  There is a slight bow to the shaft and there is a small grain splinter (see the close up photo), neither of which detract from the overall desirability of this club.
