Royal Eastbourne spoon
Maker:
A E Robb
, Lelant/Eastbourne Date: 1904
An elegant small-headed spoon with a narrow scare, 4” long, from a son of Carnoustie who largely plied his trade in the south of England.

The hickory shaft remains straight and has the clubmaker’s stamp of “Special” and the first owner’s initials of “WFG”. It carries the original sheepskin grip with woollen underlisting.
