AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A rare, antique “Transitional Driver,” made circa 1895–1900. The clubhead is marked with the name G. Tomlinson, possibly the name of the clubmaker or the golfer. This model marks the transitional period when traditional “longnose” clubs gave way to more compact wooden heads to accommodate the new rubber Haskell ball of the time.
Features:
• Marked with the name G. Tomlinson
• Type: Driver
• Classic “Scared Head” joint. The hickory shaft is attached to the head with an angled wooden splice.
• The traditional thread whipping around the splice is completely original and intact.
• With original leather grip.
The club is in excellent condition and has no damage. The driver has a beautiful patina that wonderfully reflects its age of over 120 years. A wonderful piece for a collector or hickory golfer.
