Exceptional 1920's

Wellington Stone Parlor Putter

w/ Original Putters

        Created by Chicago-based Wellington Stone, a company renowned from the 1920s through the 1930s for its ornate cast brass floor lamps and bridge lamps, the original Parlor Putter debuted in 1920 and was produced until 1925.

        Made of cast iron or brass, Parlor Putter smoking stands feature a trefoil-shape shelf that supported three of the game's marked, wooden-shaft putters. Golf balls were displayed on the shelf's trio of shallow wells and two cast balls decorate the stand's center post. A basket-type tray that tops the post held the stand's original glass ashtray.

        Parlor putter stands are very difficult to find with the original putters. They are especially desirable when accompanied by the original "Parlor" brand putters, as offered here.
