The Wonder Club is a combination of wood and aluminum driver with a brass back weight.  The shaft is straight and firmly affixed to the head. There is no sign of reshafting.  The grip is brown leather and looks to be original.  On the top of the club and at the very toe the aluminum does have a single crack but it does not affect the structural soundness of the club.  The head also uses the Carruther's Patent where the shaft extends through the sole of the head. The top of the driver is stamped "Waverly Horton Wonder Club Pat'd Dec. 2, 1920".  Each driver was custom made for a specific buyer with respect to the purchaser's requirements for lie and weight.    Waverly Horton was a well-known golf professional from the Chicago area.  He was one of the longest drivers in the game at that time.  Later in his career he established a small manufacturing company mainly to market his unique club designs and patents.Peter Georgiady's Wood Shafted Golf Club Value Guide lists the value of this club at $650.Please look at all photos carefully and ask questions before bidding.  Good Luck.
