2. Simon Cossar Fruitwood Metal-Headed Blade Putter -$165,000
We don’t know for sure the origin of the earliest golf clubs ever found, and some of them have unknown origin as far as manufacturers go.
However, at some point, men like Simon Crossar, who dedicated himself to the design and production of golf clubs, started to sign their work.
He was actively making golf clubs from the late 18th century to the early part of the 19th century.
The club features a metal headed blade putter, which was already rare in itself; it also had an even rarer shaft made of fruitwood and hozel. In 1998, this golf club was auctioned off at Christie’s for $165,000.
This legendary piece dates back to somewhere between the late 18th century and the early 19th century.
