Great find!

I have one that says designed by John Reuter jr. Is it worth it anything?

Great putter. I used a Bullseye in high school and college (1985-1995). I can't seem to find it, but every couple of years I go digging through the garage thinking it must be here somewhere.

Bulls Eye putters with the John Reuter stamping are the most valuable of all the Bulls Eye putters. Hang on to it. I have a Bulls Eye that I bought in the late 80's and they no longer carried the John Reuter stamping. The John Reuter Bulls Eye is from the original run.

My Bulls Eye putter is stamped "John Reuter Jr Made in U.S.A.". It is also stamped "FLU4P". Any idea what the last designation means or the year this club was made?

Thanks for all the info and data. Glad to know grandpa had a good eye for putters.

Just got my hands on a a few Titleist SC Bulls Eye putters from an old golf shop. The owner died, and his kids were getting rid of everything. These putters still have the heads and grips wrapped in plastic, just like when they were shipped from Titleist. Absolutely beautiful! I believe these are from the early 90's, but not positive. Anyone here know anymore about them?

Are you going to keep these or sell them

The Scotty Cameron Putter Brand has been part of Titleist since 1994 so I would think these were produced after that time. I am not sure what improvements/tweaks Scotty Cameron made over the old John Rueters Jr. designs but no doubt these are fine putters as were the originals. Acushnet/Titleist acquired the John Rueters company in 1952.

Still have mine from the 60s with original grip. Great putter. Since yours was Grandpa's...greater yet!

I have not been able to play for quite a few years due to a bad back, but in the 60's through the 90's I used only my Bulls Eye putter. I bought it used for $15 in 1962 at the pro shop at the superb Amsterdam Municipal Golf Course. It is a light blade model (with the J.R. Jr stamped on the bottom) that I added a lead strip to the back with epoxy glue. I was always a fair putter but the heavier head helped immensely (a tip from Billy Casper?). If I ever get as lucky as Tiger to get a good back surgeon and play again I will absolutely use my Bulls Eye.

By the way going through my "stuff" I found a couple of gems:
A Cherokee putter from early 1900's (worth a few bucks), Wilson Ralph Guldahl and Helen Hicks full sets of clubs from the 1930's in good shape. Ben Hogan irons from 1963. Also I have about 15 drivers and a few hickory shafted irons and putter. Brings back many memories for sure.

Really interested in the Cherokee putter if you still have it and would consider selling it? Please let me know as I would be using it in my Hickory Play set. My first Cherokee got stolen ;(
Many thanks,
-Jeff

I still have the first club I bought when I started playing golf in the fall of 1956. It is a John Reuter Bulls eye. The stamping on the bottom says PAT. PENDING JOHN REUTER JR. STD M 6 P.

Any additional info on values for pre-Acushnet bullseyes would be greatly appreciated. I’m guessing pre-1962 because of the lack of Acushnet stamping but is there a way to date more accurately as well? I’ve attached a pic for reference. Thanks in advance. Jim

I have one. Great to hang on the wall. Guess the only value would be a lot of memories. If you go to PGA value guide, which is the blue book for clubs, it shows "no value" for the old Bulls Eye Putters.

Or consider them priceless.

With limited transactions there can't be a market price. They're collectibles now and will sell for whatever the seller and buyer will agree to. Cory Pavin still uses one so granddad's can still be used for special occasions. Just don't leave it where an interested thief can make off with it.

I would think of the PGA value guide as "Black Book"/Wholesale pricing- a quick trade in value- below what a knowledgeable buyer would pay for a well kept club(s).

It gives you two prices; trade in and resale values. low/med/high....based on condition. The "resale values" are very fair market prices when determining what to sell your clubs for. Supply and demand. I never have a problem reselling clubs and have never listed them on eBay.

I have several old BullsEye putters....you can verify current prices by seeing a handful of these on EBay....

Still got my dad’s putter.

I just found one also except it's senior not junior. Is there any value to them???

Also got another one marked L5C, Deep Face, John Reuter Jr design

I found this putter next in the woods next to a green. Is there any value to it?
