Exceptional Vintage 1920s

Wellington Stone Parlor Putter

    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 two of the game's marked, wooden-shaft putters. Golf balls were displayed on the shelf's pair of shallow wells and a pair of cast balls decorate the stand's center post. A basket-type tray that tops the post held the stand's original glass ashtray which is not present here.

    Parlor putter stands are very difficult to find in this condition. Putters included are not original to the stand.
