Ping never stopped making the 1A model. You can still order them today from any authorized Ping dealer.
Sort of, one of the models of Ping putters is called the 'My Day'. -------------- Yes, I own a PING DAY PUTTER. The "My Day" is a different shape with the shaft entering the putter head somewhat toward the center - while the "Day" has the shaft fully off the heel of the head. The "My Day" seemed to be more readily available than the "Day".
A Ping oblade putter stamped with the number 85029 made by karsten mfg corp. was a family owned manufacturer. The company made clubs, bags and other kinds of gear pricing are different depending on what you get like the club it usually sells around forty dollars.
1959 is the answer. I quote from the Ping.com WEB-Site (Karsten Solheim invents the PING putter in his Redwood City, California garage. he names his putter "PING" because of the sound it makes upon contact with a golf ball. Two years later, he moves his family to Phoenix and continues his quest to improve golf club design.) Putters from PING don't "Ping" anymore. There are still 1A putters for sale. The new ones are not made of copper as was the original.
