Circa 1895 John Dunn BGI Co. Wood One Piece Brassie

A rare John D. Dunn BGI One-Piece brassie with hickory head and shaft made from the one piece of wood, and it is in great condition. This club dates from late 1890s to 1903. The shaft and head of the club are made from one piece of wood. Shaft is stout and relatively straight. Note some dryness at the heel of the club. This club is in great condition for being 115+ years old. B.G.I. was one of the 1st three Golf Club Makers in America-starting about 1898 & ending mysteriously in less than 10 years. They were a creative company & made quality golf clubs. B.G.I. was the first company to use a numbering system to identify their different model clubs. 'B.G.I. Co. Trade Mark' is stamped on the head. B.G.I. stands for Bridgeport Gun Implement Co., so yes they started off making guns and other related equipment. Progressive and ahead of their time, this high quality workmanship is prevalent in this club. Their elegant design is apparent in their seldom seen wood. The leather face was a time-period alteration. This club is 43" long.
