I am most grateful for the supportive comments. I think this club may have some age to it, at least very early 20th century? Here are some more pictures untill I have it. I do not believe one can create a patina but if it is there it can be brought forward with the right care. I am quite hopeful that this has not been a waste of money. The link is interesting, I like the dark club second bottom.
