About the Item
Vintage Hickory Golf Club, Mid Iron.
A fine and nicely weighted dot punched faced mid iron by Josh Taylor (brother of John Henry "J.H."

The measurements shown are the length of the shaft with hosel and the width and depth of the face.

Taken from Wikipedia:
Joshua Taylor (1881 - 28 September 1957) was an English professional golfer, the younger brother of J. H. Taylor. He played in the 1913 England-Scotland Professional Match and for Great Britain in the 1921 match against America.
Taylor was born Northam, Devon in 1881, 10 years after his brother J. H. Taylor.
Playing with his brother J.H., he won the Southern Professional Foursomes Tournament in 1910. The event was played in late January at Stoke Poges. The ground was very frosty for the first two days and then there was snow followed by a rapid thaw which left the course waterlogged and the final had to be postponed.[1] The 36-hole final against James Bradbeer and George Charles was rearranged for 8 February and resulted in a 6&5 win for the Taylor brothers.
Taylor qualified for the final stage of the 1913 Sphere and Tatler Foursomes Tournament. Drawn with a young Bert James from Devon, they reached the final, losing 7&5 to Harry Vardon and Tom Williamson in the 36-hole final. He was selected for the England-Scotland Professional Match the same year and performed well in the subsequent Open Championship. finishing tied for 14th, 15 strokes behind his brother.
Taylor reached the final of the 1920 News of the World Match Play where he met defending champion Abe Mitchell, losing 3&2 in the 36-hole final. The following year he was selected for the British team in an international match against America, winning both his matches.

- Antique Rut Niblick, Hickory Shafted Golf ClubLocated in Oxfordshire, GBHickory Shafted Rut Iron. A good quality smooth faced rut iron, also known as a rut niblick, rutter or track iron. Rut irons were commonly used to hit the ball from cart tracks and deep ruts etc. Young Tom Morris was known to hit his rut iron from the fairway to play a high shot onto the green, a shot only a player of his calibre could master. They say he even managed to get backspin on the ball. The golf club is with hickory shaft and a polished sheep skin grip. The head has no makers marks, but it is a high-quality club and heavy in weight, has a long hosel (10 ½ cm) and a thick blade, not to be confused with the later 'Rut Niblick' that was lighter, thinner blade and a shorter hosel.
