Antique Vintage Wood Shaft LEFTY Concave Skoogee Gibson Scotland Player

Description

This item is an antique vintage LEFT HANDED 35" wood shaft wedge. It has a smooth and very concave face with large heavy flanged sole. Made by Gibson of Kinghorn Scotland. It was Gibson's answer to the Walter Hagen concave sand wedge that Bobby Jones had in his bag when he won the Grand Slam except you don't see very many of them since concave faces were banned soon after Gibson began making his Skoogee. The head is made of Rustless metal. 52* loft and a very heavy F 6 swingweight. The head is clean and not all rusted. It does have the expected play nicks and dings. Please look at the many zoom pictures for a better idea of condition. The shaft is an old original hickory that is marked with one Star which indicates Gibson used a select shaft in the club. The shaft is straight, I see no cracks and it has some play at the hosel. All hickory shafted clubs should be re-set prior to play. The grip is an old long leather wrap that is in good vintage condition. A must own collectible club that you could actually play with.  The left handed version is very hard to find.
If you are considering playing with this club all wooden shafted irons should be re-set prior to play. While I see no issues with the shaft (other than those mentioned above), I suggest that whipping be added just above the hosel to help prevent breakage. These wooden shafts often have hidden defects and are liable to break at any time. I do not guarantee wooden shafts against breakage when put into play. Never hit an old wooden shafted club off a driving range mat. Never hit an old wooden shafted wood with a hard range ball.
Shipping in the US is calculated and based on a 3 pound box. This item shipped Priority Mail. For those of you that never ship but only receive items, the further you are from me in NC the more shipping will be. That is the way the USPS charges. On top of that, eBay and takes almost 15% of what I receive for shipping (out of I receive .50) and I would like to break even. Shipping to foreign countries (CANADA, GREAT BRITAIN, AUSTRALIA AND SWEDEN) will be much higher and is also calculated.
