Ping Karsten Redwood City
No Model Putter 

This is an ultra rare Ping Karsten Redwood City 1959 Patent Pending "no model" putter. This is one of the rare "garage putters" that were made by Karsten in his garage in the late 50s. It is not known how many of these putters have been made, but it is one of the rarest of all the early Pings and increasingly difficult to locate especially in fine condition, and much fewer exist of these early putters without water displacement numbers on the head.  The putter is 36 inches in length with original True Temper steel shaft and original black "Clothesline" grip.
