Antique Golf Bag, Automaten Caddy By Bussey.
Antique Golf Bag, Automaten Caddy By Bussey.
Antique Caddie Golf Bag, George Bussey Automaton Caddie.
A wonderful example of an early auto caddy by George Bussey. This is a rare find indeed as very few of these bags have survived, and they are difficult to obtain. The caddie has a boxwood carry handle and the main body of the caddie is made of mahogany. The boxwood handle is attached to the ash legs via metal rods and a brass mechanism. With this clever design the legs will open out automatically when the lower end is placed on the ground, and will then fold back in when lifted up. The canvas & leather bag for golf balls and the half pencil bag to the bottom of the stand are the original bags. The caddie stand is stamped with Bussey's name on the brass mechanism, this is the original caddie stand golf bag. There is a brass embossed trade label "J. Graham & Co. Inverness" pinned onto the caddie bag.
George Bussey was a large London manufacturer of high quality equipment for sports and games.
