The Ping Karsten Putter was made in the early 1960s.
I have the first Ping left hand putter. I won a newly introduced putter at a Porter Ranch ladies invitational years ago. However, I needed a left hand one and had to wait for my prize to be made. I use the same putter today.
Ping never stopped making the 1A model. You can still order them today from any authorized Ping dealer.
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.
When choosing a putter its personal preference. here are a list of top quality putters: Scotty Cameron Studio Style Putter, Odyssey White Steel Tri-Ball, Odyssey DFX 2- Ball Blade, Ping G2i Craz-E Putter,Callaway I Trax Putter, and Taylor Made Rossa CGB Putter.
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.
Yes, Coors, (don't know if it was the beer or the ceramic lab materials company), made one in the 70's (or earlier?). White head looked like a Ping Anser style.
the first ping pong catapult was made in 1880. the first person to invent it was an black man.
The first video game ever made was PONG! Pong was a revolutionary 2D version of tennis/ping pong, hence the name, PONG, from ping PONG.

as long as a putter has the right length of shaft for your body and you like putting with it, there is no difference; and if there is a difference still choose the one you putt best with no matter how it is labeled or what color it is. I don't think there are putters made just for men, a woman could like using any putter a man uses and vice verse.
