This is a smooth face cleek type iron by Robert Condie, St. Andrews, circa mid 1890s. The fern leaf mark was the early mark used by Condie. This club has the elusive double fern mark and was retailed by Auchterlonie & Crosthwaite, St. Andrews. A & C were in business together for only a couple of years, circa 1893-1895.
The AUCHTERLONIE & CROSTHWAITE oval mark is very strong as are the two ferns inside the name stamp. The club is 39" long from the tip of the shaft to the bottom of the head. The loft measures 18* and the swing weight is D7. The shaft has the AUCHTERLONIE, St. ANDREWS stamp below the grip. The grip is gone but the very charming old wool under listing is mostly in tact. The head is not tight to the shaft that has a crack just above the hosel (see photos).This is a great collectible from a preeminent club maker. It was made during a very small window of time that the retailers were in business. Buy with confidence.
