It's still an interesting piece and quite heavy.

Hi lew,

you didn't pay to much for your club, and most imported: you're enjoying it !!
Just wanted to tell you that the club isn't so old as you would think it is...

I figure it's probably 1950s-60s

. It's certainly not new the patina is not artificially applied.
