UnderPar18 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Would love to see some of your TP Mills putters. I know they could date back some time but I would love to see some new school and old school Mills! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meth819 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I've been working on this one for the past week. I started hitting putts with the new Wilson 8802 in Golfsmith and fell in love with it. Ever since then I wanted and old school blade putter. Little did I realize I had my fathers old Spalding 1 TP Mills putter. I decided to start my own rehab project. I'm pretty much through sanding it (by hand, it takes forever). I have a little more to do with the superfine sand paper to gloss it up a bit more. I'm planning on using Liquid Gun Blue to get the black finish back and paint fill everything with a USA Red White and Blue theme and top it off with a white Lamkin EBL 3Gen Pistol grip.

mikah Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 [attachment=3015118:Spaulding TPM IV 2 .jpg][attachment=3015116:Spaulding TPM IV.jpg][b][size=5]Spalding Touring Pro Model[/size][/b] [color=#000000][size=1]In the early 1970's, Spalding approached Mr. Mills to design putters. These early putters known as 'Touring Pro Models' were forged at Spalding and blackened by Mills. Although the records suggest the putters were gun-blued by Mills, it appears the finish was more a prime-paint finish. Gun bluing is a method to blacken carbon steel which is essentially a deep color rust coating. These early putters had the familiar dot cross face pattern along with TP's initials 'TPM' on the face at the heel and the words Touring Pro Model on the sole.
