Richard East Seat Scope (Shooting Stick) - Seat

Shooting sticks earned their name as they were initially favoured by spectators of grose shooting events. The seat could be quickly folded up and carried to the next vantage point. With a periscope added, the shooting stick became popular among golfing and polo galleries as it enabled spectators to see over the crowd.

This shooting stick was designed by Richard East, and manufactured and distributed by the Carnegie Clark Company during the 1930s. Richard East was one of the East Brothers, well-known golf club manufacturers. Keith Clark was responsible for the manufacturing arm of the Carnegie Clark Company and sold the 'Richard East Seat Scope' at the company's Rose Bay factory.
