Spence & Gourlay.
Founded in the mid 1890's by James Hampton Spence and George Longburn Gourlay operating out of the old lifeboat shed at St Andrews. They built up a very good reputation as making beautiful irons, but like many clubmaking firms, WWI put a stop to business. After the war James Spence continued to produce iron cleek heads but without his partner. He took on a new cleek mark of a 'flag stick' in the hole which was registered in 1922. He sold his business in the late 1920's to Robert Forgan & Son who then adopted the 'flag stick' cleek mark as their own.
