ANTIQUE RUT NIBLICK GOLF CLUB BY WILLIAM GIBSON; SMOOTH FACE WOOD HICKORY SHAFT

Description

THIS IS AN ANTIQUE, RIGHT-HANDED, HICKORY SHAFTED GOLF CLUB.  IT IS A "RUT NIBLICK" WITH A SMALL ROUNDED
HEAD, MADE BY WILLIAM GIBSON & CO., KINGHORN, SCOTLAND. (CIRCA 1895)
MOST CLUB STAMPINGS ARE EASILY READ.  HICKORY SHAFT IS TIGHT TO THE UNDAMAGED HOSEL, STRAIGHT AND
HAS NEVER BEEN DAMAGED OR REPAIRED.  LEATHER GRIP LOOKS ORIGINAL.  IT IS FULL, SECURED TIGHTLY TO
THE SHAFT AND HAS IN PLACE WHIPPINGS.  CLUB HEAD, INCLUDING THE SMOOTH STRIKING FACE, IS IN LOW USE CONDITION.
CLUB STANDS 37 1/2".
CLEAR CLUB STAMPINGS INCLUDE:  "WILLIAM GIBSON & CO. KINGHORN" ALL WITHIN AN OVAL ALONG WITH GIBSON'S "STAR" MARK.
THE CLUB HEAD IS FURTHER STAMPED: "SPORTSMANS EMPORIUM GLASCOW."  ON THE TOE THERE IS ALSO A STAMPING
THAT LOOKS LIKE AN "L," AND THAT IS WHY THIS CLUB IS LISTED HERE AS A WOMAN'S GOLF CLUB.  I AM NOT POSITIVE
OF THE MEANING OF THAT TOE STAMP.
OVERALL CONDITION OF THIS GOLF CLUB IS CLOSE TO EXCELLENT AND THE CLUB IS APPROXIMATELY 120 YEARS OLD.
