The Ryder Cup
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.
