Made by MacGregor between 1927 and 1929, Chieftain woods have ivory inserts in the face, an ivory insert in the crown, a large ivory backweight, and a brass soleplate. The green dots on this club are threaded Scruloc inserts made from galalith, a casein product made from goats milk. Really.

In 1927, 1928, and 1929, Chieftains were the most expensive MacGregor clubs a golfer could buy.  They were available with either wood or metal shafts.  The Chieftain Brassie offered here has its original 43" steel shaft and leather-wrapped grip.
