Hickory Shafted Golf Club, Niblick By Anderson
Alex Anderson Hickory Shafted Niblick.
A fine and characterful antique niblick, dating from the classic hickory era of golf. The clubhead features hand-punched face markings, a traditional method used to increase friction and impart greater control from rough ground and bunker lies. The back of the head is stamped with an arrow cleek mark, identifying it as the work of Anderson of Anstruther, the respected Scottish clubmaking firm known for producing high-quality hand-forged irons in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Additionally, the head is stamped within an oval: J & A Simpson - Special - Edinburgh. This likely denotes the Edinburgh retailer through whom the club was sold, a common practice of the period where professional shops commissioned or resold clubs under their own stamp. The hickory shaft is fitted with a replaced leather grip, sympathetically done and entirely appropriate for play.
A superb example for Play or Collection, well-balanced and traditionally lofted, this is a great niblick for today's hickory golfer-fully playable while retaining strong period integrity. Approximate 50° loft & swing weight F7.
The measurements shown are the length of the shaft with hosel and the width and depth of the face.
