Putter

The Otey Crisman Putter carries a dated release from 1940 alongside an undated entry of the same name, both drawn from sportantiques.co.uk. The dealer's listing for the 1940 example places its design year at 1946 and its era as circa the 1940s, a small internal wrinkle worth noting for anyone tracing the club's exact year of manufacture, but not one that changes the broad picture: this is a putter rooted in the pre-war and immediate post-war period, attributed to Otey Crisman, Jr.

Both entries in the line share the same identifying language. Sportantiques.co.uk describes three alignment lines to the crown of the club as a sighting feature, and notes a polished leather grip on the club. The undated release repeats these same points nearly verbatim, down to the alignment lines and grip description, suggesting continuity in the design between the two catalogued examples rather than a redesign.

Condition notes from the same source describe both the 1940 putter and the undated release as being in good usable condition, language that speaks to the vintage-club trade this listing comes from rather than to any factory specification. Across its two entries, the line reads as a steady, recognizable shape: Crisman's name, the crown alignment lines, and the leather grip carried forward with little variation from one cataloguing to the next.
