Circa 1885 McEwan Long Nose Approaching Putter
A early to mid-1800s long nose mid-spoon club made by McEwan of Musselburgh is available to bidders in this lot in very good condition. The McEwan family was one of the top clubmakers dating back to as early as the 1770s, a time when feathery balls were still being played. The McEwan's were a legendary family of six club makers with this long nose most likely fashioned by Douglas (1809-1886) or Peter (1834-1895). In this time period they were operating their shop at Musselburgh. An authentic McEwan crafted club is expected to draw major interest from bidders looking to enhance their hickory club collection. The club has 'McEwan' stamped on the crown in bold fashion, displaying perfectly. The smooth grip remains intact, as well as the whipping and the ram's horn insert. Truly a must have club for a hickory collector.
