Both the head and the 43" shaft of this Willie Park Jr. driver are stamped with Park's name. The shaft is original, as is the sheepskin grip, although it is well worn at the top and has a black residue from some material on some areas (It's possible an owner of the club back in the day added a touch of pitch to help make the grip a bit more tacky.)  The head is solid, the face is tight, and the original finish still retains much of its rich color. 

Park Jr won the British Open twice—in 1887 and 1889—and was in the top 10 twelve times.
