This is a unique Curved Sole and Concave Faced cleek made by Thomas Hemmings & Sons in Redditch, Worchester. This is the only club of this design that I've ever seen and believe it to be extremely rare.
The head has some modest darkening of the metal but nothing significant. The head is firmly affixed to the original and straight shaft. The grip is a dark suede and could be original but likely a period replacement.The back of the club has the ornate Rampant Lion cleek mark along with "T.Hemmings Redditch" in an oval. The listing of the company this way dates the club to pre-1908 and given the smooth face more likely around 1900.Peter Georgiady's Wood Shafted Value Guide lists Hemmings clubs in the $150 range. This club is older and more unusual (curved sole and concave face) than those listed. This club is comfortably in the $150-$200 range.Please look at all photos carefully and ask questions before bidding. Good luck.
