Tom Stewart R.T.J. Special Hand Forged W. Yeoman Chicago Niblick w/Shaft Stamp
Tom Stewart was a renowned steel club head maker, the choice of golfing royalty. 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 stamping of the head professional W. Yeoman of Chicago is found on the backside of the head, joined by the original owner's initials H.R.C. and the highly significant and collectible R.T.J. It sports a shallow lined face and is in fair to good condition with legible stampings.
