Description
This item is a pair of antique right handed woods. Included are a 43.25" driver and a 43" Brassie. Marked WH Driver and Brassie on the aluminum sole plates. Interesting four screw aluminum inserts in the face. Dual strip top heads with no markings on the crown. These clubs were offered by Walter Hagen in the 1920's. They are not your normal socket head woods but have a splice or scare joinder that connects the head to the shaft. This type of head/shaft connection generally went out of favor in the early 1900's and was replaced by the drilled socket wood head shaft connections. Their was a brief resurgence in the 1920's and Hagen was willing to take advantage of that. Yes they are listed in some of the value guides but are rarely seen in person or offered for sale. There are no markings on the crown but there is no doubt they are the WH (Walter Hagen) Model splice necks. The heads are in fair to good condition. I see no cracks in either but they do show the expected wear and play dings. Please look at the many zoom pictures to get a better idea of condition. The shafts are the original hickories. Both have minor bends, I see no cracks and they are tight at the scare joinder. The whipping is replaced (sorry, thread tends not to last for 100 years). The grips are old long leather wraps that are whipped at the bottom and they are in good vintage condition. Very hard to find display clubs.
Shipping in the US is calculated and based on a 4 pound box. This item shipped Priority Mail. For those of you that never ship but only receive items, the further you are from me in NC to more shipping will be. That is the way the USPS charges. On top of that, eBay and Paypal take almost 15% of what I receive for shipping (out of $10 I receive $8.50) and I would like to break even. Shipping to foreign countries is also calculated and will be much higher. In accordance with the current Ebay policy I am only allowed to state that I accept payment via Paypal. NC residents must add 7.5% sales tax.
