Tom Stewart Smooth Faced Cleek by Auchterlone St. Andrews - Buenos Aires Mark!
Tom Stewart was a renowned steel club head maker. Old Tom Morris used the clubs Stewart produced. Morris wasn't Stewart's only fan, as he made steel heads for the likes of clubmakers like the McEwans, the Auchterlonies, and the Forgans, as well as golfers such as James Braid, Francis Ouimet, and Bobby Jones. Jones was in jeopardy of losing his amateur status with Stewart using his name in making the clubheads so Jones asked that he stopped. Stewart resumed production after Jones' 1930 grand slam season and subsequent retirement. This club bears Mr. Stewart's pipe stamp, as well as deep markings of the names Auchterlone, St Andrews and even the Buenos Aires mark! The cleek in this lot comes adorned by deep markings featuring multiple heavy weights in the Scotland clubmaking industry and specifically St Andrews. The highly presentable club is in good to very good condition, with very little wear. It is 36" from the top of the grip to the bottom of the heel.
