Offered here is a circa 1912 David Wilson design-registered "Facile" putter. The gunmetal putter has an unusual backless design, and with a crown about double the size of the sole. Very good condition.
This club originates from the famed Jeff Ellis Collection, and this exact club was featured in his books, The Golf Club (p. 108) and The Clubmaker's Art (TCA 2, p. 578). This club has not reached the collector market since its sale at the 2007 Sotheby's auction of the Jeff Ellis Collection.
