A "transitional" i.e. between a long-nose and the modern shape of a wooden head but a very solid piece of golf weaponry, it predates the oversized "dreadnought" heads of the early 20th century by fifteen years or so.

The head is a solid black-stained piece of beech, 3.25 x 2.25 with a long, 4.5" scare and stamped "J Winton". The sole is protected by a ram's horn slip secured by three hickory dowels and further protection from the damage wrought by solid gutta balls is provided by a leather face insert held in place by cobbler's nails.

A straight hickory shaft is a little "frayed" near the topmost dome where there was no protection from varnish. The rest of the shaft seems fine but I would not 100% guaranree its playability. It carries a thick bull leather grip which is probably original.

Winton’s later became a very sophisticated operation, fine workmanship, innovative designs and ultimately effective use of technology so it is interesting to have an early ‘rustic’-looking club by way of comparison.
