Beer scrape. Sterling silver handle shaped like a golf club head, with ivory scrape that is engraved, "To John H. Taylor. Westward Ho! 1894." With Birmingham hallmark. Approximately 12½" long.

A unique beer scrape given to the legendary English golfer John Henry Taylor. Awarded for his Westward Ho! victory in 1894 on the cusp of the first of his five British Open victories between 1894-1913. It is at the Westward Ho! course that he learned to golf and it is fitting that he was gifted something to assist in his celebration (scraping the foam off of a mug of beer) upon his first victory there in 1894. Made of a nicely crafted and detailed sterling silver scarehead driver, attached to an ivory scrape. A wonderful and attractive collectible.
