Made famous by Walter Travis when he won the British Amateur in 1904, the Schenectady putter was patented by Arthur Knight of Schenectady, New York, in 1903. The R&A banned the club in 1910, but the USGA did not. The R&A's ban lasted over 40 years before it was reversed. Read about the great uproar around this club during the early 1900s in The Clubmakers Art Vol 1: 225-228.
This excellent all-original example, with a 33 1/2" shaft and leather wrap grip, is of one of the most historic putters in golf. Sole is stamped "Sole Licensees, Harry C. Lee & Co. NY, No. 976267".
