1880's Old Tom Morris Longnose Putter

        Few items of golf memorabilia can truly be described as the definitive piece of an era, or even the entire history of the game.

        This is one of those items.

        Offered here is a longnose putter created by the grandfather of golf, Old Tom Morris. In the 1880's, long before mass production of clubs was possible, this putter was handcrafted by Old Tom Morris in his St. Andrews golf shop next to the 18th green of the Old Course.

        This impressive longnose putter is in very good condition, and displays magnificently. The stamp of its famous maker, "T. Morris", is impressive, and stands out well against the backdrop of the blonde head of the historic golf club.
