It a putter head, sort of a bulbous head with a smooth face.

It reads: "Northwestern Golf Co. Model 1700"

I contacted a woman from Northwestern Golf in the UK and she informed me that they never made a putter model 1700.

Unfortunately, the US Northwestern Golf Co. went out of business several years ago.

I do not know its composition, though it looks brassy.
PLEASE ANY INFO. YOU CAN GIVE ME ABOUT HOW OLD THIS OBJECT IS WOULD BE GREAT
thanks

Joe I am ashamed of you. Or am I ashamed of luckysometimes? We don't condone the dating of inanimate objects on this forum. No, I am ashamed of myself as this is just silly! Seriously, I think it is the head off a putter. A fairway wood would have a number on it such as a 5 to indicate a five wood. Northwestern Golf made a lot of economy priced clubs and I use to see them at Kmart and Wal-Mart. In fact , I bought a few when I first started playing golf. I don't know how long Northwestern was in business , it was just one of the economy priced clubs I looked at when I didn't know whether I would stick with the game or not. I think I may have "accidentally" tossed a putter in the lake on #2 at my favorite golf club a time or two! ;D Monty

I don't have any of my books on golf clubs anymore but I maybe can give you some info. Northwestern was a department store club, meaning it was not sold through the pro shops. I am going from a weak memory, but I don't believe Northwestern produced golf clubs until after WWII. 50s to 60s would be a good guess, maybe even later. Still a unique find. Because all the modern golf clubs have gone hightech, the older clubs don't hold much value. Put it on your desk and make a pen holder out of it.
