I just refinished an old MacGregor Pacemaker wood shaft putter as a gift for my grandmother. Can anyone tell me approximately how old that putter is?

do you have pictures?
I would guess 20's or possibly 30's does it have a clover leaf logo?

Check your shaft with a magnet to make sure it's not sheathed steel...

I would say this putter is from the 30s. I, too, have a MacGregor catalog book at home and can see if this putter is in the book.

Matt,
From what I see in the Macgregor catalog, there was a Pacemaker series of irons and woods that were manufactured in 1935. There putters from that time don't appear to use the 'Pacemaker' name though. Can you post a picture of it?

Unfortunately I don't have access to the putter at the moment but the above link shows the same putter head. |

I've see this type fairly often. Some try to pass them off as Hickory.Plain brown sheathed shaft or pale wood grain and dot punched face . Mid-'30

That was a very common make of head and it was used by a number of club lines besides MacGregor.
The head sample I had was a "Fife". Exactly the same head just the face scoring and back stamping was changed from one line to another. Very upright lie,with little loft and thin leather grips for most.
