The head and shaft of this 44" driver are made from a single, solid piece of wood.  There is no neck joint.  The club is in its original finish and its sheepskin grip is original.  Overall, this is an outstanding example of a one-piece driver made by one of the most revered industry professionals from the late 19th and early 20th century. 

An added feature, this club is stamped "Willie Dunn" on the crown and "Made By Crawford, McGregor & Canby, Dayton, Ohio” on the shaft.  Willie Jr. worked for MacGregor for a brief period. In 1898, after laying out a golf course in Dayton, Ohio, Dunn was hired to a supervisory position by a young clubmaking company—The Dayton Last Works.  The Dayton Last Works had changed its name to Crawford, McGregor & Canby by 1900, when he was released from the company. His brother John Duncan Dunn was hired by MacGregor in 1901.

The son of famed mid-19th century club and ball maker Willie Dunn Sr., Willie Jr. was one of the most influential golf personalities in America during the early 20th century. He was prominent as a player, businessman, club designer, course architect, and golf instructor among other things. A good portion of his career is covered in TCA2 v1 p309-311.

In 1896, Dunn established his club and ball making operation as well as a "golf gymnasium" in New York City.  Inside a room in what is now the old Madison Square Gardens in New York City he gave golf lessons. 

Prior to coming to America, Dunn was also involved in British golf in the 1880s and 1890s both as a player, a clubmaker, and as a course manager/green keeper.  He went on to split time in America and the UK during the 20th century, returning to the UK for good in 1940.
