Vintage Hickory Shafted R. L. Christie Brassie Scottish Golf Club 41.5" Player

Description

Interesting R. L. Christie hickory shafted brassie in good shape. The only information I could find on R.L. Christie is that they were a jeweler from Edinburgh that dated back to the 19th century.
My hypothesis is they would have had the equipment for engraving jewelry and maybe tried selling golf clubs with their own inscriptions for a while. Unfortunately there are no cleek marks to indicate who the actual manufacturer would be. The club is marked W C F, but I am unsure of the meaning.
Total length of the club is 41.5" and the shaft is straight. There do not appear to be any cracks underneath the whipping, but there is a small crack on the back of the club by the backweight. Grip is a little loose on the top so would likely need to be replaced. May have play potential, but I am not sure I can guarantee it. The finish has worn off on the top of the club so it so there wouldn't be as much worry about damaging a pristine club.
