Exceptional Vintage 1920's

Wellington Stone Parlor Putter

            Offered here is an original 1920's "Parlor Putter".

            Created by Chicago-based Wellington Stone, a company renowned from the 1920s through the 1930s for its ornate cast brass floor lamps and bridge lamps, the original Parlor Putter debuted in 1920 and was produced until 1925.

            Made of cast iron or brass, Parlor Putter smoking stands feature a trefoil-shape shelf that supported three of the game's marked, wooden-shaft putters. Golf balls were displayed on the shelf's trio of shallow wells and two cast balls decorate the stand's center post. A basket-type tray that tops the post held the stand's original glass ashtray.

            This Original 1920's "Parlor Putter" comes with the putters pictured, though they are not original. The golf balls shown in the picture are for display purposes only. There is no ash tray but can be replaced easily if desired.
