Circa early 1900s Myles of Dundee Rexor Patent iron. Maker's stamp on the face. 39 1/2” original shaft and leather wrap grip. Head shows little to no use and WGHOF inventory number "546" written in black ink on sole.
The “Rexor," was designed to function as a wood, complete with the face profile of a wood, but made as irons. David Myles received three different British patents that covered this concept.
The basic objective of his iron club as stated in his first British patent, (No. 5,121) dated September 11, 1905, was “to improve ... driving clubs by adapting them to suit rubber cored or pneumatic balls."
In addition to the claim that his iron could drive cither a rubber core or pneumatic ball greater distances, Myles also claimed his iron, due to its small head, was exceptionally playable from a heavy lie.
This club comes from the World Golf Hall of Fame's collection, and was on display at the World Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, Florida before it closed its doors.
