This Sunday stick is made from an aeroplane propeller and has a coppice handle attached to the shaft with a zigzag marquetry design.
The stick has a strong shaft and an original metal ferrule.
'Sunday sticks were manufactured because of the ban on golfing on the Sabbath, Sunday. They fashioned the canes with a golf club head as a handle and they became known as 'Sunday Clubs' or 'Sabbath sticks'. It is said that on the Sabbath a Sunday Club owner, when nobody was looking, could still enjoy a crafty putt or swing.
A rare item perfect for use or a collector.
