Help identifying this putter!!

[Rejyn]

 

I need help identifying this putter. As you can see, it does not have any indications on maker or model anywhere on it. It does have a very distinct and IMO beautiful circle milling on the face. It’s an anser style putter that actually rolls really well, I am hoping someone can shed some light on the origination of this putter!

The milling is similar to, but not exactly, like Bettinardi did when he was with Hogan.

Tatertot, I agree, it is similar, that’s what drew my attention in the first place!

But it looks like a cast putter.

Looks like a cast putter with a milled face. Maybe someone was trying face milling patterns and just got some blanks and went to town.

Has a Snake Eye's look to it.

What makes it look cast?

The pitting look,

 

[golfluvzme]

Cast putter from a manufacturer looking to mass produce some heads. They will send out samples of their putters to companies to show what they can do. This one may have been made to showcase a "Fancy Face" or such.

The neck is a good give-away that it is cast. The smooth flow of the stem into the cup section is a big tell-tale sign. The bumpers into the shoulders and the shape of the shoulders themselves says "cast", to me. Also, the overall texture of the putter is perfectly saying that it is a cast putter.

Sorry if this is bad news, just sharing what we know.

No milling on the neck? Or welding?? Cast LaMont??

Thanks LaMont, not bad news at all, it was a $5 putter, just liked the look of the milling! Thanks for your insight, always great to hear from one of the great putter experts!
