Medium Lie Alloy Putter By George Cribben Hythe, Kent

About the Item

Vintage Hickory Golf Club, Braid Mills Style Putter. A good example of an aluminium Braid Mills style putter by George Cribben, Hythe Golf Club, Kent (1897 - 1917). The top of the head is stamped with George's details within an oval and 'Special', whilst the underside is stamped '3, Medium Lie, 9 ozs 8Drs'. The club is in great usable condition with replaced hickory shaft and a suede leather grip. The measurements shown are the length of the shaft with hosel and the width and depth of the face. William Mills of Sunderland, England, was the most prolific designer and manufacturer of early aluminium head golf clubs and his company produced more aluminium putters than any other club maker during the wooden shafted era. He created The Standard Golf Company (William Mills, Limited), a division of The Atlas Works, to produce his clubs, commonly referred to as 'Mills' clubs. While his metalwoods were eventually accepted by many golfers, it was his putters that were the most popular. Mills began experimenting with the construction of aluminium clubheads as early as 1892. They produced two basic types of aluminium putters, the long nose style and the mallet head. The putters all came in different weights and lies and although the long nose style putters were the first models made it was ultimately the mallet head putters that became the most popular. Mills continued to offer mallet putters well into the 1920's, long after the long nose style putters went out of production. Dimensions: Height 84.5 cm / 33 " Width 10 cm / 4" Depth 2.5 cm / 1"
