This is a smooth face niblick by Robert Condie, St. Andrews, circa mid 1890s. The fern leaf mark was the early mark used by Condie. This club has the elusive double fern mark and was retailed by Auchterlonie & Crosthwaite, St. Andrews. Auchterlonie & Crosthwaite were in business together for only a couple of years, circa 1893-1895.
The Auchterlonie & Crosthwaite oval mark is weak but the two ferns inside the name stamp are very readable. The club is 37 1/2" long from the tip of the shaft to the bottom of the head. The loft measures 55* and the swing weight is mid G. The shaft has the AUCHTERLONIE stamp. The grip is somewhat tattered but still mostly in tact. The head is tight to the shaft. There is some chipping in the shaft at the hosel (see photo).
This is a great collectible from a preeminent club maker. It was made during a very small window of time that the retailers were in business. Buy with confidence.
I ship ONLY to the USA.
