Offered here is a circa 1900 Willie Dunn Jr. Patent (Applied For) "Indestructible" combination wood. The clubhead has an aluminum case fitted with a wood block secured by five screws underneath. Excellent condition with a hairline in the wood. The club shows very little use. According to Jeff Ellis, "only a handful of Dunn indestructibles remain."

This club originates from the famed Jeff Ellis Collection, and this exact club was featured in his books, The Golf Club (p. 74) and The Clubmaker's Art (TCA 1, p. 295; TCA 2, p. 355). This club has not reached the collector market since its sale at the 2007 Sotheby's auction of the Jeff Ellis Collection.
