Scarce Antique Vintage Hickory Shaft Mills KL Model Philp Style Long Nose Putter

This item is an antique right handed 35.5" (measured from the heel to the top of the grip) heel shafted aluminum mallet style putter. Made by Standard Golf of Sunderland England. Marked  with the normal Mills Patent numbers on top. Has The Mills KL Model Medium Lie 10 ozs 14 Drs on the sole. Also has the Harry C Lee New York Acorn cleek mark (Lee retailed this putter). The soft aluminum head is actually in quite nice condition. Has very few of the expected bag and play marks and dings. No hosel cracks. Please look at the many zoom pictures to get a better idea of condition. The shaft is an old bore through hickory that is most likely original. It is straight,  I see no cracks and it has some play at the hosel. The grip is a nicely done built up long leather wrap that is in good condition with whipping top and bottom. A heavy D 9 swingweight for play. The Mills KL is the longest head model that Standard golf made. Much longer and more impressive than the other long nose Mills putters. It was modeled after a classic Philp long nose putter. Harold Hilton used one of these to win the British armature and Irish Open. This is a very hard to find Mills model. Jeff Ellis sold one for $1000 in 2007. Shipping in the US is calculated and based on a 2 pound box. This item shipped Priority Mail. For those of you that never ship but only receive items, the further you are from me in NC to more shipping will be. That is the way the USPS charges. On top of that, eBay and Paypal take almost 15% of what I receive for shipping (out of $10 I receive $8.50) and I would like to break even. Shipping to foreign countries is also calculated and 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.
