Designed to offer the golfer an iron that had the feel of a wood, this club was produced under an 1897 US Design Patent issued to James Cran. It was the 10th US patent issued for a golf club. From top to bottom, this is a most interesting example of this popular collectible.
This club is much longer than the typical Cran Cleek, measuring 39 1/2" in length. Both the shaft and grip are original. Note that the black mark on the face is just that—a black mark. It is neither a crack nor a scratch. TCA2 V1 p.393
