Note: Willie Park was a golfer of some renown, but also a distinguished clubmaker, patenting several original designs and opening a retail shop in Edinburgh and a manufacturing warehouse in London. His real love was in course design, most notably London's Sunningdale course, and numerous courses in the US. 3rd Item: Right-handed chole club, with hand-forged head.

William Gibson, a blacksmith, learned how to make iron clubs from an early age and set up his own shop in Edinburgh in 1890; in the early 20th Century was said to be the largest manufacturer of golf clubs in the world, supplying many professionals of the day (Golf in the Making, 1979, Ian T. Henderson, David I. Stirk). Note: All items purchased from Sean Arnold Sporting Antiques, London. A copy of their hand-written product descriptions will be available to the buyer.
