Vintage Morristown Putter with Original Morristown Shaft Stamp
No matter what brand of club you pull from your bag, you owe some thanks to one company - Spalding. At the turn of the 20th Century, golf had stirred mild interest in the United States, and A.G. Spalding & Brothers sporting goods saw an opportunity. The company was already selling golf balls when, in 1905, it became the first in America to offer its own brand of golf clubs. Spalding released their Morristown line of clubs in 1898 as a more affordable option for the consumers. Here we have a Morristown putter that also features a shaft stamp. The head has back and sole inserts and the sheepskin grip shows wear. This putter measures 35" to the heel.
