Offered here is a circa 1903 "Cuirass" driver with steel face and sole. An excellent early metal face wood. According to Jeff Ellis, it was advertised as "practically indestructible." Very good condition.
This club originates from the famed Jeff Ellis Collection, and this exact club was featured in his books The Clubmaker's Art (TCA 1, p. 345; TCA 2, p. 423). This club has not reached the collector market since its sale at the 2007 Sotheby's auction of the Jeff Ellis Collection.
