Offered here is an original mallet putter from Herd & Yeoman in Chicago. Fred Herd won the 1898 US Open, and in 1902 set up a clubmaking business in Chicago with William Yeoman. The business only lasted through 1908, so we can accurately date this putter from between 1902 and 1908. Stamped "Herd & Yeoman Champion" on the crown of the putter, and the original shaft is stamped "Herd & Yeoman Chicago." The clubhead is also stamped with the initials of the original early 20th century owner. 37". Very good condition.
