Mills c. 1910 Hilton X Model Putter made by the Standard Golf Company. According to the Standard Golf Company's 1909 catalog, the Mills X model is "an exact copy of the putter used by Mr. H.H. Hilton at the [British Amateur] Championship, 1901," which he won. Between 1892 and 1913, Hilton won four British Amateurs, two US Amateurs, and two British Opens (as an Amateur). 

This nice original aluminum head long-nose-style putter is in better than average condition.  Aluminum putters are often bag worn as aluminum is easily dented and hosels easily cracked.  The hosel on this putter is solid and the head still attractive as is the leather wrap grip and golden hickory shaft.   A hidden feature on this putter is there are two small circular lead backweights inlaid on the back of the head behind both the heel and toe—which makes this club one of the earliest heel-and-toe weighted putters. These two lead buttons are almost the same color as the aluminum.
