John Jackson was making clubs in Perth for over two decades while Philp was doing the same in St. Andrews. The two, no doubt, knew of each other and had seen each other’s work. Both were craftsmen of the highest order.  Jackson is not nearly as well-known as Philp today, but to collectors who know their clubmakers, Jackson's clubs are highly prized.

The c1855 Jackson putter offered here has an attractive head shape with stylish lines. It has a greaceful, rounded nose often found on Jackson clubs.  The top of the head bears a strong “Jackson” stamp along with “R.W.R.M.”, the owner’s initials.  The head measures 5 5/8" in length, 1 " in face depth, and 1 /8" in width. The 37" hickory shaft and sheepskin grip are original.  The surface of the grip is worn, however.

The club remains in great original condition with just light wear to the face. Another Amazing Work of Art!
