Circa Early 1920s Cochrane Super-Giant PUTTER - Extremely Scarce

This huge club head has dot-punched striking face and back blade stamping of "Cochranes Ltd. / Edinburgh / PUTTER / Made in Scotland / Warranted Hand forged" and with "Cochranes Bowline Knot" cleek mark. This is the very first example we have seen. The more commonly known and also seldom seen and highly sought after Niblick version has a purported 10 examples known, and this example may number even fewer. We are pleased to have the opportunity to present this rare club to you now. If you request additional photos, please contact us and we will be happy to assist. In regards to the niblick version, The Clubmaker's Art (2nd Ed), p. 595, by Jeff Ellis states that "few collectors have handled a super-giant niblick; but, because it is so big and unlike anything else, most collectors have heard about it." He further states that "when Cochrane's super-giant niblick is seen in real life, its size impresses the viewer." Measures 34" in length, Face is 6" x 2 1/2"
