Andrew Herd Scott was both a fine golfer and clubmaker. His Unbreakable Neck driver and brassie offered here were patented in 1895, with Scott describing his unique "fork splice" neck joint as follows: "The shaft, which tapers towards one end, is formed square or rectangular in cross-section at that part and enters a correspondingly shaped recess in the neck and head of the club, the said shaft passing right through same to the sole...By this means a joint is made that is practically unbreakable, while it also gives more spring to the head and consequently greater power to the stroke, thereby enabling a ball to be driven further than with an ordinary club..."

The original 43" original driver shaft has a sueded leather replacement grip.  This is a very nice club; condition as shown in photos.
