The Spalding Cran Cleek Pat. June 8, 1897 with Spalding Shaft Stamp
This cleek's wood insert face took two screws to attach and offers an interesting solution to this club's structural makeup. AG Spalding & Bros were a stateside industry leader in the golf club category in the first half of the 20th century. This club's condition remains very good, as the face still sports strong, deep tread lines. No matter what brand of club you pull from your bag, you owe some thanks to one company--Spalding. At the turn of the 20th Century, golf had stirred mild interest in the United States, and A.G. Spalding & Brothers sporting goods saw an opportunity. The company was already selling golf balls when, in 1905, it became the first in America to offer its own brand of golf clubs.
