Devised and sold directly by Fred Saunders, a well respected London clubmaker and golf professional, the Saunders Straight Line putter provides a dramatic extension on the back of an aluminum head.   A 1920 Golf Illustrated ad for this putter reads: "Reduce your Handicap! This is now comparatively easy if you play with a "Saunders Straight Line Patent aluminum putter (Registered Design 672,159) which gives you a true line to the hole. . . . Write for terms : Fred Sauncers, Highgate Golf Club, London, N."

This club is in great condition, with but light bag wear on the soft aluminum head.  The 33 1/2" shaft and leather-wrapped grip are original. Sole is marked Medium Lie, 10 OZS, and bears US patent number 354,265.This patent was issued after Saunders received a Registered Design in the UK in 1919.  An excellent piece.
