Unique Custom Made Handcrafted Designer Golf Bag in Western Motif, circa 1955
About the Item
This is a very unique and one of a kind item; consisting of a Custom Made Hand Crafted Leather Designer Golf Bag, in Western Motif; all hand tool and dyed. Images consisting of Native American Indians; Cactus, and a mythological winged subject on the front panel. See the many images illustrated in the listing, which includes a highly decorated rain cover at the top of the bag which snaps and zippers into place.
There are two (side by side) zippered ball compartments at the bottom rear; a "small item" bag (golf t's etc) at the top; a sweater/jacket zippered compartment on the vertical. All of the zippers are made by Arrow. There seems to be an opening on the side for an umbrella. There are also four numbered 1 thru 4 matching leather head covers, monogrammed "Robt. F. Craig"; and a Kenneth Smith leather "putter cover" with signature (see image). The leather and workmanship are top of the line; having been designed by early 20th century well known golf club and golf bag maker from Kansas City, Missouri; Kenneth Smith.
Kenneth Smith, born in 1901, was world famous for the fine quality golf products he manufactured; having made clubs and bags for the likes of Bob Hope, Mickey Mantle, Bing Crosby and Richard Nixon, along with several foreign dignitaries until his death in 1977.
The condition is excellent (almost new) having never been used. I purchased in an estate sale in 2013 of "Robt. F. Craig". Craig lived in Oregon; graduated from the University of Oregon where he played football and track; after which he became an avid golfer.

- Doorstop "Golfer" by Hubley, circa 1920By Hubley Manufacturing Company 2Located in Incline Village, NVThis doorstop, also known as "Overhead Swinging Golfer," is more difficult to find than it's "Putting Golfer" counterpart doorstop; which is also made by Hubley. Manufactured by the Hubley Manufacturing Company of Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1920, this cast iron doorstop is in outstanding all original bright paint with no touch up or restoration of any kind, and in wonderful patina. It depicts an older, grey haired man, with typical knicker golf garb, taking a wild swing at a golf ball resting on the grass. It has a semi "hollow" rear with a "238" factory marking, indicating that it is, in fact, by Hubley and original. It is noted in Jeanne Bertoia's 1985 book on doorstops page 60; and referenced on page 211 of the Smith book on doorstops. A must for the doorstop or golfing memorabilia...Category

- Indian Chief Motif Porcelain Humidor, American, circa 1900Located in Incline Village, NVFine quality hand painted porcelain humidor is in excellent all original condition with no chips, repairs, or overpaint; nice bright crisp paint and detail. No mark, but definitely American, circa 1900 era. Note the detail to the Indian's face and his elaborate headdress. Native American Indians were especially attracted to tobacco and related products and relished the opportunity to pose for pictures on that topic; note cigar store "Indians", match safes, and humidors. This is a very desirable and item of tobacciana with the Indian subject matter and the attractive multicolored hand painted Indian chief with headdress, probably of note but I have not been able to accurately identify him; quite possibly "Big Bow" an Indian warrior who has been identified on other similar objects.

- Rare 911 Porsche Friction Tin Toy by Bandai Toy Co. Made in Japan Circa 1960'sLocated in Incline Village, NVOffered here is a whitish/cream colored friction tin toy 911 Porsche circa 1960's, marked at the bottom; "Porsche" in addition to the Bandai Toy Company logo embossed, along with "Made in Japan" designation being noted. The Bandai Toy Company is a post war toy company established in Taito, Japan circa 1950 and is still conducting business today, albeit, it has shifted from toy manufacturing to video toy accessories. This is a very rare toy and is coveted by collectors of both toys and fast cars. Except for the odd and minor scratch here and there, the toy is in very nice, all original condition with absolutely no restoration or touch up to the paint or mechanism (see images). The action and friction functionality works well (see video). Motor and engine mechanics and nomenclature are colorfully displayed through the plastic rear trunk window (see image); while the colorful interior can be seen through the side window. Car is all tin, with rubber tires and plastic windows. Dimensions: 10 1/4" long x 4" wide x 3 1/4" high. Priced competitively; note that this toy doesn't become available very often and the few that have turned up in recent years , don't work and are several hundred dollars more than mine. Note: After 40 plus years of dealing and collecting toys, I am justly qualified to guarantee and present the authenticity of antique and vintage toys; important considering fakes and reproductions in the marketplace it would behoove an enterprising collector, dealer, or decorator to take advantage of the opportunity to buy as many of the vintage tin...Category
