Thanks for your patience :) Hi,You're looking at a seldom seen Aitken spliced neck wood shaft golf club. This Short head Transitional brassie Model is in good/fair condition for it's age and likely made late 1890s. The head shows some light play wear has a leather face with additional leather repaired towards the toe. there's small wood sliver missing on the face towards to neck. I see a small crack between the leather and crown ( see pic ) The brass plate has only very minor wear. The wordings stampings on the head are good and clear and is stamped AITKEN. The likely original stamped shaft ( Thomson Meriden )is in good condition and has a small likely intentional bend. The lower original whipping good. The length is 42" . The likely original suede leather grip has some worn areas and missing small spots. A scarce club that will display very well and might have play potential as the swing weight is E2. This club is stout and likely made for gutta percha balls.According to Pete Georgiady Compendium of British Clubmakers Mr Aitken made clubs and balls between 1892-1912 and one of his more noteworthy customer was Mr Balfour a member of parliament whom he made presentations of golf clubs which at that time the press noted the finest ever clubs made.
