Any club from the long nose era is a solid collectible.  There were not that many golfers then, relatively speaking, and the clubs were all hand made without the benefit of electicity. Among the rarest form of long nose club are juvenile clubs, those clubs crafted for kids of all ages. Made with the same craftsmanship as an adult size club, these delicate clubs have a charm and sweetness all their own.

On a juvenile club, both the head and shaft are made smaller.  The head on the circa 1870 McEwan play club offered here measures  4 3/4 inches in length, 1 3/4" in width, and 15/16" in face depth.  The original shaft measures 41 inches.  The grip is a modern sueded leather replacement that matches the period well.  Lovely junior club, and its made by one of the greatest clubmaking firms of the 18th and 19th centuries.
