- unusual antique wood shaft patent golf
putter - Braid Mills model - c1912
-
A nice wood shaft aluminum mallet head golf
putter made by The Standard Golf Company in
Sunderland England. On the bottom it says "Braid
MillsModel Flat Lie 10oz 4 dr" and on the top it says
"Mills Patent Standard Golf Co. Sunderland.
Lettering is relatively clear throughout - better on the
bottom than the top of the head. The Braid model is named
after James Braid who was one of the "triumvirate" of
British golfers around the turn of the century that took
turns winning the British Open. The shaft is solid with
an old leather grip in good condition. The hosel is in
good condition with no cracks - unusual in itself for an
aluminum head. As is common on aluminum head putters
there are a number of "dings" from the everyday use that
the clubs receive. This putter - like most MIlls putters
has lead back weights. Mills mallet style putters are
standouts in wood shaft golf club collections and this
one is a good sample - yours for a low starting price and
no reserve.
