Ok, here's a picture sent to me of a vintage set of golf clubs. The heads are in great condition and are stamped Gibsons of Kinghorn. These clubs date to the 1930s or 1940's. There a small problem however, if you look closely you can see they are steel shafted...see how the hosels taper as they get nearer to the thinner metal shaft. If these were hickory shafted I'd estimate they be worth 350 GBP = 700 USD. However, I've seen many steel shafted sets go for only 20 GBP = 40 USD. Golf Memorabilia

A.
Bill,
This putter was made by the firm of Robert Forgan and Sons of St.Andrews Scotland. From the pics and your description it looks like a MAXMO model made in the 1920's. Whilst "long-nose" in shape it was made 40 years after the true longnose era finished. It seems to need some refurbishment. If you have clear solid proof that it was used to win the Open, or used by an Open champion, then you're quids in and it's likely to be worth several thousand pounds. If no proof exists then I'd value it between 100 and 200 GBP ( once it has been restored ).

Recently I received a 'phone call from someone saying they had a Forgan long nose antique golf club. I asked them to send me some photos. The owner had seen pictures of a similar putter in an antique value guide and was very excited as the ones in the book had been valued at about 3000 GBP. Here's the pics ( and very good quality they are too compared to some I receive! )

So what is this putter? Is it worth 3000 GBP, is it fake? Well, sadly it isn't worth 3000 GBP but I could forgive any laymen and plenty of novice collectors for thinking it is more valuable than it actually is. When I started collecting I would have thought I'd hit the jackpot if I'd come across this and I do remember considering a similar sort of purchase in an antique shop in Scotland...thankfully I didn't complete the deal or I would have been distinctly out of pocket. Firstly, it is genuinely old with a distinct patina of age. It has those small, or sometimes not so small dings, chips and general surface wear patterns that are extremly difficult to fake. Secondly, it is stamped with the name FORGAN across the top of the head. The head itself is approximately 4 and a half inches long. It has a horn "slip" along the leading edge. Note also the lead backweight is not all flush with the back edge of the head...in that some of the lead has been sculped out to make the swingweight slightly lighter. Thirdly, it does have a spliced join ( scarf or scared join to give it its proper name ) between the shaft and the head. Most of the black whipping has come off...but this can quite easily be replaced. The first thing that caught my attention when I opened the photos was the metal sole plate. Although brass sole plates were added to long range clubs from the mid 1800's they weren't added to putters at the time of making until about 1900. Also the horn slip is held in with screws and not wooden dowels...again something which tells me this club dates from 1900. Another thing is that the striking face has visible horizontal lines scored into it, albeit very lightly. So although this putter is technically a "long-nose" club it dates about twenty five years after the long-nose period really ended...about 1900 to 1905. By this time nearly all golfers were using metal blade putters and only a very few of them were clinging to the wooden headed putters of old. So, is this puter collectable. Yes, definately ( although it needs a little TLC ). Is it valuable? Well it depends what you mean by valuable. With some restoration I would expect it to be fetch a couple of hundred pounds ...so about 10% of those putters made in 1880.
