Circa 1915 Anderson
Mashie Niblick

This very heavy mashie niblick with a considerably wide sole was likely made by the firm of Alex Anderson in the mid-1910s. Alex was the son of James Anderson, who was a well-respected cleek maker in the late 1800s, making his clubs in Anstruther, Fife. Early Anderson clubs feature double circle mark with the name “Anderson - Anstruther,” and later clubs made by Alex feature an arrow pointing to the toe as can be seen on this club.

The primary features of this particular club are the concave face as well the very wide sole which, combined with its 53 degrees of loft and heavy weight, makes it particularly useful as a trouble club to chip or extract the ball from greenside rough or sand. It was found in a very rusty state but has been cleaned up more than well-enough to be an attractive and useful club in your pencil bag.
