This oversize blockhead mallet putter was produced by Spalding c. 1920s or possibly before. They are easily recognizable with their 5-inch-long brass face and brass sole. They were normally marked "Travis Putter" n the lead in the back of the head and "A.G. Spalding & Bros" on the crown.  This example is marked "A.G. Spalding & Bros" on the crown but the lead was left unstamped.

Another nice example of this putter is presented and discussed in The Clubmakers Art 2, vol 1 page 609-610. While one of these putters was also in my last auction, they are quite rare as they were never offered in a Spalding catalog.  The example offered here is in outstanding condition and has its original shaft and leather wrap grip.
