Description
Needles Golf Club - The club was formed in 1888 at Totland Bay and some 400 feet
above sea level, ‘sporting’ to say the least and one not to play in a mist. My example
is probably an award type in copper gilt and enamels measures 20.5mm. The design is
incised and the triple enamels do produce an attractive effect. The back marks are ‘Best
Quality’ ‘G&S’ (Gaunt & Sons). Tony Gazzard states that the club dissolved c1950.
