Circa 1920s Cochrane Jigger

This line-faced club made by the J.P. Cochrane Co. of Edinburgh, Scotland in the late 1920s features the head shape and wider sole of a traditional jigger with the loft of a mashie. Jiggers were traditionally made with 30 degrees of loft and played at 38 inches to serve as a mid-range approach club that could get the ball up in a hurry over trouble, but this particular example suggests player preference was beginning to evolve into wanting a club that was more useful for the short game. In fact, many jiggers found in the wild today have higher lofts and intentionally short or cut-down shafts that suggest they were primarily being used as a chipper toward the end of the hickory era.

The club has been fully refurbished for play including head reset with epoxy and repinning with a brass pin. While this club was originally made with a rustless treatment, it has discolored in areas over time and the club has a nice aged patina as a result.
