During the late 1890s and early 1900s, William Mills was a prolific maker of aluminum head putters.  This particular example is the K model upright and is stamped on the sole.  It is in fair condition, showing much use, and has a crack on one side of the hosel at the top.  Mills long nose style putters, however, are not often seen and this one still has a nice look to it.  The shaft and grip are original. For more on William Mills, his Standard Golf Company, and his aluminum clubs, see TCA2 V1 p338.
