1969/70 THE WILSON 8802-BUFFED BLACK CHROME HEAD PUTTER

This is the cleanest 1969/70 The Wilson 8802 you'll ever see. It has been stowed away in our vault for the past 25 years or so. The head looks very close to unused. At some point, the black chrome was buffed away, and the result was this polished head. Just take a look at the sole and the top of the putter. It obviously has not spent much time in a golf bag. 35.5" total length with the infamous original black leather with silver piping grip that is in fantastic condition. Correct red/blue flags end cap. The face is the correct height of a U.S. nickle. No oxidation or corrosion of any kind here. These have wonderful weight to them (heavier than both earlier ('64-'68) as well as more recent models of the 8802), and fantastic feel at impact. Obviously one of the most copied designs in putter history!This is a very rare example of a putter which has won many PGA Tour events over the years. As such, bidding will open at $174.99.
