Longnose Hickory Shaft Putter - This vintage longnose or scareneck golf club features a traditional design utilized primarily in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The clubhead is constructed from dark-stained wood and is joined to the hickory shaft via a long, tapered scareneck joint. This spliced connection is reinforced with thick black whipping twine extending down from the head to the upper shaft. The sole of the wooden head is fitted with a brass plate, which is secured by three visible pins. The straight wooden shaft terminates in a black leather wrap grip. A black leather grip is wrapped around the top of the shaft and features gold lettering. The text is printed in two lines: the first line reads GENUINE and the second line reads NEUMANN followed by Leather in a script font. No other maker marks, signatures, or stamps are visible on the wooden head or the shaft in the provided images.
