Among the most popular golf collectibles is the giant niblick.  Even non-golfers view it in amazement as its size is so eye-catching.  Giant niblicks were produced primarily during the 1920s, and they can be found with some consistency.  However left-handed giant niblicks are exceedingly rare, which makes this club a a true prize.

This example was made by Cochrane, and has Cochrane's Bowline knot cleekmark on the back of the head which is also stamped "Mammoth Niblick, Made in Scotland, Warranted Hand Forged, Fort Mason Picadilly London". The face depth measures 3 1/2  inches, which is a healthy face depth as giant niblicks go.  The shaft and grip are original and the head shows little use.  A great club! With a lovely "rounded" head.

See the previous lot for a "matching" right-handed version of this club that beaers the exact same stamps.
