In Jeff Ellis' tome, The Clubmaker's Art, he describes the significance of a McEwan club: "The name 'McEwan' identifies more than a long nose club – it belongs to the most famous family of early clubmakers." (The Clubmaker's Art, 2nd Edition, p. 43)?

Simply put, in the hierarchy of long nose clubmakers, McEwan reigns supreme. No true golf club collection in the entire world is missing a McEwan long nose. In fact, any truly serious collection contains several.
Offered here is a circa 1850 Douglas McEwan (1809-1886) long nose play club (driver). Douglas McEwan crafted some of the world’s finest examples of feather ball era clubs. This fine driver bears all of its original natural resin varnish finish, and belies its age with raw file marks to the face. This is a museum quality club that would proudly grace any fine collection of ancient clubs.
