This is one of the most beautiful and early clubs that I have handled in more than forty years. I am conservatively dating it to the 19th century, without being more specific, although I believe it could well (and accurately) be described as early in the century. The patina is superb, a rich chocolate-mahogany brown, as the photos hopefully will show. The club measures 16" in length; the head is some 3-3/4" in diameter at the widest part. A substantial, early and authentic item
