A very nice item and anti-shank irons are getting more and more difficult to find. Anti-shank irons are characterized by the shape of the hosel as shown in the photo bottom left below. This one is a "farlie model" patent - the face is pushed forward so the ball has no chance to hit the hosel - in very nice condition. Interestingly it also is made of a kind of steel patented by Hawkins that has additives so it won't rust - hence the lack of a real age patina. On the back it says "Corintiha Trade Mark Hawkins Neverrust" and on the bottom is the word "Mashie" - about the loft of a modern day 7/8 iron. The shaft is in good condition with a slight bow and the grip is an old leather grip in good condition.
