Scarce original 1873 book Blackheath Golfing Lays 1873. Written by the Poet-Laurette of the Club, Thomas Marsh. Printed for Members of Blackheath in 1873. Back in 2013, a copy of this scarce book was offered by bookseller PBA Galleries with an estimate of $5000-$8000. In that auction, they stated that only 6 copies have been located and offered for sale since the 1990s. 

Very good condition. 143 pages. This rare book is housed in a custom clamshell case that was produced for it.
