Antique Hickory Shaft Condie Auchterlonie Patent Putter Fancy Chain Link Face

This item is a right handed 35" putter. Has a raised bar across the back and is what is known as an Auchterlonie Patent Putter. Laurie Auchterlonie used a similar putter to win the 1902 U S Open thus the Auchterlonie pattern. Has the Registration No. on the back. Double stamped D&W Auchterlonie St Andrews on the back. Made by Robert Condie, also of St Andrews, for the Auchterlonies because it has Condie's Rose cleek mark. This is the real deal with the fancy chain link face scoring. Raised bar/weight on the back of the blade slightly closer to the bottom that the top. The head is clean and not all rusted but does have the expected play nicks and dings. Please look at the zoom pictures as they should accurately represent the condition. The shaft is an old marked hickory. It has a minor bend, I see no cracks and it has some play at the hosel (all hickory clubs should be reset prior to play). The grip is an old built up long sueded russet leather wrap and it is in good vintage condition. A nice D 0 swingweight and almost 16 ounce total weight for play. Shipping in the US is calculated for this item and based on a 2 pound box. The closer you are to me in NC (27712 zip) the less shipping will be. That is the way shipping works as it costs me more to ship a greater distance with all the carriers. I do ship pretty much worldwide but shipping is a lot more to foreign locations. It too is calculated. 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.
