Giant Niblick, Golf Club With Hickory Shaft
Antique Hickory Shafted Giant Niblick.
Maybe one of the most popular golf collectibles, the giant niblick. Found in many collections because of its eye-catching enormous oversized head. This club was retailed in London and the rear of the club head stamped 'LB 76 Jermyn Street, London, SW, Saville rustless - iron, guaranteed hand forged'. The club with hand punched dot face markings and hickory shaft with leather grip. The giant niblicks were produced by several clubmakers, William Gibson & Co., Cochranes, Ben Sayer and Hendry & Bishop to name a few. Known as Mammoth Niblicks, frying pan niblicks, they are a beautiful and interesting club for display. Bigger is not always better, the giant niblick was a difficult club to master.
