Made famous by Walter Travis when he won the British Amateur in 1904, the Schenectady putter was patented by Arthur Knight of Schenectady, New York, in 1903.  The R&A banned the club in 1910, but the USGA did not. The R&A's ban lasted over 40 years before it was reversed. Read about the great uproar around this club during the early 1900s in The Clubmakers Art Vol 1: 225-228.

This outstanding example, with a 34 3/4" shaft and a replaced leather wrap grip that still looks new, like the head, is one of the most historic putters in golf. The head shows no bag wear to speak of, which is a rarity for an aluminum head club.  Sole is stamped "Sole Licensees, Harry C. Lee & Co. NY, Pat 976267". The back of the head is stamped "Schenectady Mar 24, 1903."  The white cap on the end of the shaft is not original to the club, but fits it perfectly.  This is an exceptionally nice example of this most famous putter.
