Watt bulldog brassie with faceplate
Maker: Tom Watt , Bridge of Weir
Date: 1908

A very attractive, and characteristic, example of a bulldog brassie with a squat broad head, shaft the length of a brassie but the club having the loft of a spoon. It has the typical curved sole of the bulldog and has a full brass soleplate secured by six simplex screws.

The head is persimmon and has the added attraction of a white trapezoidal ivorine face plate, again secured with simplex keys, three in this case. The crown is stamped "Tom Watt" in signature below which is "Scottish Internatst 1907-08" commemorating Watt's appearance for his country against England.

A straight hickory shaft is topped with a smooth, deep burgundy leather grip which is built up into a bell end of sorts but not the tapering type characteristic of the mid-1920s, but more of a collar.

This is a very eye-catching club, of an important byway in club design, which would grace any collection.

Price $280.00
