Antique old wooden shafted putter heavy mallet putter by William Gibson with his 'Star' cleekmark.. Called the 'BV' putter for Brown/Vardon. Arthur Brown & Harry Vardon stamps still very readable. Also retailed out of the Harry Vardon shop as his name is stamped in the center oval, " Harry Vardon, Totteridge." Nice to find one of these retailed by Vardon himself. Metal appears to have a tinning to it. This was an early type of rustproofing. ... Club appears to be all original. Sole stamped, "Medium Lie, Reg. No. 593863, Warranted hand forged." Shaft fits perfectly flush and tight at the hosel join. Shaft is oval in shape on the lower 6 inches of the shaft and fits the oval hosel very well. Shaft is almost certainly the original and remains straight. No rust or pitting to this club head. Leading edge shows only a few scant play nicks. 33 1/2 inches in club length. Has a nice intact 14 inch period leather wrap grip over underlisting. Please see my other wood shaftedand vintage collectible golf clubs. Someare quite rare. All without reserve. THANKS!
