Good condition for this 1966 forged Northwestern Craig Wood Hall of Fame 50 degree pitching wedge. The edge of the face in even with the front edge of the hosel, instead of the usual alignment with the hosel centerline. Nowadays this design, dating to about 1900, is known as face forward. There is also a small 'antishank' notch at the heel, making this a techno marvel for its vintage. Back of the head has excellent chrome and sparkle. Good, but faded ringed ferrule. Fine True Temper Pro Fit regular flex steel shaft with very fine chrome. Good, and still soft, with no age cracks, Golf Pride Northwestern logo rubber grip. 35 1/4".
