Late Victorian Spliced Neck Hickory Shaft Wooden Golf Club Circa 1890
An antique wooden golf club from the late Victorian era, circa 1890 to 1900. This club features a long-nose style wooden head with a classic scared or spliced neck joint secured by dark whipping thread. The wooden head is finished in a dark stain and features a lead back-weight insert on the rear for balance. The sole of the head is fitted with a full brass plate secured by six flat-head screws, characteristic of a brassie. The club features a tapered hickory wood shaft ending in a traditional wrapped leather grip secured with twine whipping at the collar. An incised maker's mark is present on the crown of the head, beginning with the letter M, but is heavily worn and not fully legible. The club is constructed in the style of late 19th-century makers such as Morris, McEwan, or Marshall.
