George Bussey Automaton Caddie Golf Bag

About the Item

Antique Caddie Golf Bag, George Bussey Automaton Caddie. A wonderful example of an early auto caddy by George Bussey. This is a rare find indeed as very few of these bags have survived, and they are difficult to obtain. The caddie has a boxwood carry handle and the main body of the caddie is made of mahogany. The boxwood handle is attached to the oak legs via metal rods and a brass mechanism. With this clever design the legs will open out automatically when the lower end is placed on the ground, they will then fold back in when lifted up. The canvas & leather bag for golf balls and the half pencil bag to the bottom of the stand are the original bags (flap is a replacement). The caddie stand is stamped with Bussey's name on the brass mechanism, and on both legs. There is a brass embossed trade label "Geo. Bussey & Co., London (with the Bussey arrow logo)' pinned onto the caddie bag. This is the original caddie stand golf bag and is even more desirable as it has a small amount of fretwork on the back board. George Bussey was a large London manufacturer of high-quality equipment for sports and games. The long nose & iron clubs are not included in the price, to see our selection of available clubs go to our website Dimensions: Height 93 cm / 36 3⁄4" Width 10 cm / 4" Depth 12 cm / 4 3⁄4"
