An elegant long nose scared head beech wood putter by Tom Morris of St Andrews. This great looking club has a dark stained polished club head, lead weight to the rear and the traditional horn slip along the leading edge of the sole, head is stamped 'T. Morris'. The hickory shaft fitted with full length original hide grip with underlisting, stamped below with the owners initials 'WR'.
This is a very nice example of a scared head golf club from the 1880's in excellent condition.
