In 1905, James Bradbeer began making his steel-faced "Peggy" Face woods with fifteen screws set in three rows of five across the face.  There is more than meets the eye to these screws.  In the December 3, 1903 issue of Golfing, Bradbeer explained that the club helped provide the face with improved durability and the optimum amount of spring!

‘The steel face consists simply of screws driven into the face, but around each screw and behind it is a little rubber thread, woven round and driven in with the screw. This rubber thread allows the screw to give a little, thus the face of the club is less likely to split or the screws to come loose. The face is a hard face to hit with; and with the combination of the steel, rubber and wood, the desired amount of spring is apparent, which is necessary for negotiating rubber-cored balls."

This Bradbeer brassie is in excellent condition and has its original 42 1/4"shaft and leather-wrapped grip.
