Unusual Antique Vintage Wood Shaft Sharpe Patent Dual Level Face Mashie

This listing is for an antique vintage hickory shaft right handed 39" iron. It is a deep faced mashie style head with two distinct lofts to the face. Intended to hit the ball high and allow it to land softly with little run out. Diamond dot face scoring. It is marked Sharpe Patent, T G Sharpe's, Patent No 266, 1906 on the back. Sharpe was a pro in the UK when he designed and patented this club. It must not have been a successful Patent because very few are known to exist. Jeff Ellis suggested in 2007 that only two were known. The head is clean, has the expected play nicks and dings and is not rusted. It does have some pitting. Please look at the zoom pictures for a better idea of condition. The shaft is the apparently original old dark stained hickory. It is straight, I see no cracks and it is tight at the head. The grip is a nicely done built up sueded russet leather. It is in very good condition with whipping at the bottom and top.   Shipping for this item is calculated and based on a 3 pound box via Priority Mail. Shipping to foreign countries will be much higher. In accordance with the current Ebay policy I am only allowed to state that I accept payment via Paypal. NC residents must add 7.5% sales tax.
