MacGregor Center Shafted Schenectady Putter.
A very nice example of a wooden Schenectady-style center shafted putter by McGregor & Canby Co. Dayton, Ohio. The persimmon wood club head with brass face insert with diamond face markings and lead weight to the rear. The crown stamped 'J. MacGregor, Dayton. O' in an oval with their cleek mark of a three-leafed clover leaf. The club is in good original condition, with original hickory shaft and polished leather grip. The shaft stamped 'Made By The Canford McGregor & Canby Co.,Dayton, Ohio.
A great collectable putter.
Some of McGregor's Schenectady putters are stamped with the Patent date - Oct. 21, 1919.
The measurements shown are the length of the shaft with hosel and the width and depth of the face.
The original Schenectady putter was patented by Arthur Knight in 1903 of Schenectady, New York. The putter has become one of the most historic of all clubs after Walter Travis defeated Edward Blackwell to become not only the first American to win the British Amateur, but also the first person outside the UK.
