Extremely Rare, mid-1960s Wilson 8802 Putter.  One of the all-time classics.  Has coveted Head Speed shaft with green-and-red shaft band, modest wear.  Passes the nickel test (see photo).  36 inches from heel to shaft butt.  Five steps in shaft.  Thin leather grip, with foil thread, in excellent shape; appears to be original. One flat side.  Classic two-flags end cap.  The head has been rechromed and is like new.  Very sleek and intuitive.  Excellent touch on fast greens.  This was the successor to the ultra-rare Arnold Palmer by Wilson putters used by the late King in the early 1960s.   The 8802, Wilson's most famous putter, has been the subject of countless Wilson remakes over the last 40 or 50 years.  But this one is the real deal:  first-generation and all original except for rechromed head.    Classic Wilson putter headcover included.    Paypal only.  Will ship only to U.S.  $30 flat-rate shipping includes insurance.    Out of pocket on June 1st and 2nd.
