William Mills was the most prolific designer and manufacturer of early
aluminum head golf clubs. He created The Standard Golf Company, a
division of The Atlas Works, to produce his clubs which are commonly
referred to today as "Mills" clubs.
Instead of your typical wood head with a metal backweight, this driver features a metal head with three wood blocks in the back of the head. The blocks are original to the club. The stamps on both the top and bottom of the head include its lie (medium) and weight (6 oz,14 drs). It still has its original 42 7/8" shaft and leather-wrapped grip.
This club shows wear as the aluminum alloy used to make Mills clubs was relatively
soft. Overall, however, this club looks good and is solid, with no cracks in the neck. It remains as a worthy veteran of the game as it was played early in the 1900s.
