Early 1900s long head putter with a socket neck.  The crown is stamped "Auchterlonie, Special, Hand Made".  The Auchterlonies often advertised that all their clubs were hand made.     

David and Willie Aucthterlonie were fine clubmakers and have a rich history in the game.

Having apprenticed to Robert Forgan, David Auchterlonie & his brother Willie joined forces to create the firm of D&W Auchterlonie in 1896. Although they started out with just the two of them, it took only a few years to build up to a crew of 16 workmen. They patented several clubs, made their woods by hand, and shipped many clubs to American retailers.  They did beautiful work as this club attests.

The 35" shaft is stamped "Auchterlonie St. Andrews."  The leather-wrapped grip is original. Club shows little use.
