Forgan's Maxmo putter was first offered in 1928 and built for "Maximum-Momentum"!  It was designed to redirect a ball mis-hit on either the toe or heel back towards the hole—and to give the otherwise mis-hit (and therefore) weak putt more momentum than it would otherwise have had.  To accomplish these things, the clubface has a concave curve heel to toe and there are lead weights under the brass plate on the heel and toe of the sole.  In theory, a ball struck on the toe of a RH putter would be redirected a touch to the left to correct for what would normally be a miss to the right of the hole. The lead weight under the toe would add back the distance lost with such a mis-hit.  Again, that was the theory. For more on the Maxmo putter, see TCA2 v1 p303

This particular example is from the Fred X Fry collection and is stamped with his name on the crown. The grip and shaft each bear one of Fry's inventory labels.  A copy of inventory page from Fry's notebook will be included with this lot.  For more on Fry and the sizeable national magazine coverage his collection received here in the US, Click Here.
