2021 February Auction Featuring Steve Jones Collection - Ends February 14th
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/14/2021
Circa Early 1920s Cochrane Super-Giant Niblick - Extremely Scarce
This huge and heavy club head (over 2lbs) has dot-punched striking face and back blade stamping of "Cochranes Ltd. / Edinburgh / Niblick / Made in Scotland / Warranted Handforged" and with "Cochranes Bowline Knot" cleekmark. Previous known examples, of which there are only about ten in existence, have sold in excess of $5,000 including a 2007 Sotheby's Auction hammer price of $11,250. 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." Face measures 6" wide x 4 3/4" deep, 34 3/4" long to heel
