Antique Vintage Hickory Shaft Donaldson Rangefinder Skelpie 25* C7 SW

Description

This item is an antique vintage hickory shaft right handed antique 37 1/2" iron. It is an unusual dot face iron called The "Skelpie". Made by the James A Donaldson Co of Glasgow Scotland from their Rangefinder model.  The Rustless Metal head is clean and not all rusted but does have the expected play nicks and dings.  Please look at the many zoom pictures to get a better idea of condition. The shaft is an old original Donaldson marked hickory. It is straight, I see a crack and it has some play at the hosel (always re-set heads prior to play). It has two bands of metal on it that I assume were place there to re-enforce the crack. The grip is an old long leather wrap that is in fair vintage condition. 25* loft and a C 7 swingweight for play. Hard to find club.
If you are considering playing with this club, while I see no issues with this hickory shaft (other than those mentioned above), I suggest that whipping be added just above the hosel to help prevent breakage. These old hickory shafts often have hidden defects and are liable to break at any time. I do not guarantee hickory shafts against breakage when put into play. Never hit an old hickory shafted club off a driving range mat. Never hit an old hickory shafted wood with a hard range ball.
Shipping in the US is calculated for this item and based on a 2 pound box. The closer you are to me in NC (27712 zip) the less shipping will be. That is the way shipping works as it costs me more to ship a greater distance with all the carriers. I do ship pretty much worldwide but shipping is a lot more to foreign locations and is also calculated. In accordance with the current Ebay policy I am only allowed to state that I accept payment via Paypal.
