This Ping 4A putter was made in the early 1960s by Karsten with his son John in their family garage near Scottsdale Arizona.  At the time Karsten still had his day job as an engineer with General Electric and John was going to high school. They worked in this garage evenings and weekends to make their PING putters.  It was a particularly tough go in the hot Arizona summers given that the only air conditioning in their garage was provided by an open door.... Still, they worked hard, made what many believed were the best putters money could buy, and roughly 20 years later were the number one clubmaker in the world.  And Ping has never looked back.

Everything on this outstanding 4A putter is original, including the Golf Pride "Pro Only" grip and 35 1/4" shaft with a "gooseneck" bend.  Karsten's Scottsdale mailing address is marked on the bottom of the head.
