A SCARED-HEAD LONG-NOSED PUTTER BY HUGH PHILP
circa 1835, the thorn head stamped H. Philp, Clan Ranald, the sole with three circular lead weights, the shaft notched; and a letter of provenance from Mrs Dorothy Stephenson (grand daughter of Ben Sayers) dated 11th August 1995, I was pleased to hear from you again and to know you had acquired the putter. The history of this club is certainly as you suggest, but cannot swear to the exact date it came into the Sayers' family possession, but I know my father and grandfather regarded it as one of the most interesting, simply because it had belonged to Allan, It wouldn't be collected as we undertsand it today more of a personel thing. It would certainly be my grandfather 1857-1924 who acquired it in his early years, probably a gift. Any clubs and gofiana we had/have were not "collected" in the modern sense, but over the many years we just accumulated quite an interesting lot of objects...., the letter is signed and on Ben Sayers headed notepaper (2)
