Offered here is a circa 1917 Fitzjohn & Stanton nickel-plated patent adjustable putter. This unusual putter has an adjustable mechanism operated by a bolt running through the back of the hosel and into the head - allowing the putter to be adjusted to any lie, and to also be used either right handed, left handed, or croquet style. According to Jeff Ellis, "There are only a handful known"

This club originates from the famed Jeff Ellis Collection, and was featured in his books, The Golf Club (p. 104) and The Clubmaker's Art (TCA 1, p. 520; TCA 2, p. 658). This club has not reached the collector market since its sale at the 2007 Sotheby's auction of the Jeff Ellis Collection.
