Antique Vintage Wood Shaft Early Smooth Face Gun Metal Thistle Special Putter

Description

This item is an antique vintage right handed 33 1/2" wood shaft putter. It is an early smooth face made of soft brass or gun metal. Marked Thistle Special with a large Thistle cleek mark in an oval on the back. Numerous makers used a Thistle cleek mark. The head is in good clean condition. The soft metal does a have the expected play nicks and dings but is not damaged. Please look at the many zoom pictures for a better idea of condition. The shaft is an old hickory.  The shaft has the number 213 marked on it. Several makers including Willie Dunn/MacGregor, BGI and the Nicholls Brothers put numbers on their shafts. The shaft is straight, I see no cracks and it has some play at the hosel (all hickory shafted clubs should be re-set prior to play). The grip is basically missing.
Shipping in the US is calculated and based on a 2 pound box. This item shipped Priority Mail. For those of you that never ship but only receive items, the further you are from me in NC the more shipping will be. That is the way the USPS charges. On top of that, eBay and Paypal take almost 15% of what I receive for shipping (out of I receive .50) and I would like to break even. Shipping to foreign countries (CANADA, GREAT BRITAIN, AUSTRALIA AND SWEDEN) will be higher and is also calculated.  In accordance with the current Ebay policy I am only allowed to state that I accept payment via Paypal.
