Crawford McGregor & Canby Co.

One Piece Dunn Driver

        The Crawford, McGregor & Canby Co., Dayton Ohio – Willie Dunn, New York stamped on the top of the head of this one - piece Dunn Driver, The shaft and head were all cut from one piece of wood, the shaft stamping is partially covered by the original listing and what remains of the original suede leather grip. The club is in good condition, but sill a fine example of a unusual and rare one piece driver, circa 1900. When Golfers began to realize that a one–piece wood did not drive the ball any farther and that once broken, it could not be repaired, they rethought the virtues of the club.
