Antique Vintage Hickory Shaft Stewart St Andrews Scotland RTJ Bobby Jones Niblic

I just received another group of almost 100 clubs to sell for a friend and will be listing them at auction in the next several days so be sure to check back often and see my other clubs for sale. Included are Tom Stewart irons, Bulldog woods, Gibson irons, Patented clubs, antishank irons and a number of interesting putters. Many with play potential as well as some fine collectibles. Simply click on See Other Items below my eBay name and feedback rating. If you are going to bid on multiple clubs and win one, please wait to pay until you are finished bidding as I will combine the shipping which will  save you some money.  This listing is for an antique vintage hickory shaft right handed 35 3/4" Tom Stewart (pipe mark) made iron. Hand forged in St Andrews Scotland-the home of golf. Made for the pro Michael Daragon of  South Lodge GC London. 49* loft and a D 4 swingweight for play. The interesting thing about this niblick is that it has the initials RTJ on the back. They stand for the famous golfer Robert Tyre Jones, Jr. who had some Stewart irons in his play set. Stewart put Jones' initials on some irons he produced for the public but was not authorized to do so and Jones asked him to cease and desist. RTJ marked Stewart irons are hard to find and highly collectible. The niblick in particular is a very hard to find RTJ Stewart made club. The really interesting thing about this club is the that it has a dot scored face. I have checked with a number of Stewart collectors and they have never seen a Stewart RTJ iron with anything but line scoring on the face (I have seen one dot faced RTJ putter). This is the only one known to exist at this time. If you have another one please send me a picture of the club. The head is clean. It has the expected minor play marks and dings particularly on the leading edge. Please look at the zoom pictures for a better idea of condition. The shaft is an old hickory that is marked for Daragon. It is straight, I see no cracks and it has some play at the hosel (all hickory shafts should be reset prior to play). The grip is an old long leather wrap that is in good vintage condition. Extremely rare Stewart collectible.   Shipping in the US is calculated and based on a 2 pound box. The further you are from me in NC the more shipping will be-that is the way the carriers charge. Shipping  to foreign countries will be much higher and is also calculated. In accordance with the current Ebay policy I am only allowed to state that I accept payment via Paypal. NC residents must add sales tax.
