Tom Stewart RTJ Special 9 Putter with Pipe Stamp & Personal Inspection Mark - Seldom Seen


Tom Stewart was a renowned steel club head maker. Old Tom Morris used the clubs Stewart produced. Morris wasn't Stewart's only fan, as he made steel heads for the likes of clubmakers like the McEwans, the Auchterlonies, and the Forgans, as well as golfers such as James Braid, Francis Ouimet, and Bobby Jones. Jones was in jeopardy of losing his amateur status with Stewart using his name in making the clubheads so Jones asked that he stopped. Stewart resumed production after Jones' 1930 grand slam season and subsequent retirement. This club bears the pipe stamp as well as the personal inspection dot mark of Mr. Stewart. Grip appears to be horsehide, and putter measures 34" to the heel.

**THE JOHN ROTH COLLECTION**
The Summer Auction features many items from the collection of John Roth (1940-2015.) John spent 25 years amassing a collection of golf memorabilia and golf antiques that would rival most of the golf museums around the globe. John had a passion for the history and nuance of the game, its traditions and the ever-changing evolution of the manufacture of its equipment. John was a member of the Golf Collectors Society, and actively participated in many of its events around the country. John was also a long-time player in the Society of Hickory Golfers’ tournaments around the country, which honor the traditions of the game by playing with antique, wooden-shafted clubs. During his lifelong participation in the two organizations, John won or placed highly in several tournaments and made many lifelong friends with whom he found camaraderie in his pursuit of all things golf. It is his family’s wish that the items that John treasured so much find loving new homes where they can continue to be enjoyed and tell the history of the sport that meant so much to their husband and father.
