In order to see the original "Calamity Jane" putter made famous by Bobby Jones, one would have to visit the trophy case at Augusta National. To see the Grand Slam-winning "Calamity Jane II," (expertly re-created by J. Victor East for Bobby Jones due to wear and tear on the original), one would have to visit the USGA Museum in New Jersey.

For auction here, according to Spalding's 1932 catalog, is an exact duplicate of the famous 'Calamity Jane', complete with three sections of whipping on the shaft. First offered in 1932, Spalding's early wood-shafted Robert T. Jones Calamity Jane putters were made for only three years before being replaced with a steel-shafted model.

The 34" shaft and leather wrapped grip are original. This example is in excellent condition with three sections of whipping on shaft. These original 1930s Calamity Jane putters are notoriously condition sensitive, but the offered example is in exceptional condition. A high grade example.
