Vintage TP Mills Blade Putter. No 4  
TP Mills grip by David Mills [son]
 Fully playable.
This club is really worth the price.    
This club is super accurate.  Just the right amount of weight.  Not heavy but not feather light either.  
You will love how it glides through first cut fringe.  Not getting caught in the grass.  
This club is from the 1980's.
