You are bidding on a beautful set of 1930's era:
Wilson Graduated-Flex "POWER GUAGED" MILD FORGED STEEL IRONS- Reg No. 1002
matching 3 -7 , 8 Iron(reg 1001). The 3 iron is 38 inches with 1/2 inch increments down to the 8 Iron. The 3 - 7 irons have the recommended yardage stamped into the sole, from 170  down to 75 yds.

At the time of the production of these irons the golfer was still unsure of the use of steel shaft material, because Hickory Wood had been in play for centuries. These clubs have steel shafts which were Pyrotone coated to give the impression of hickory. This practice was done to help influence golfers to make the transition from hickory to steel.
These irons are a great example of the era of wood shaft to steel.
The Punched face grooves in these irons maintained the older technology as a grooved face was still years away.
These irons are in Mint condition. The only flaws I have found are the 3 and 5 iron are missing the O-ring at the top of the hosel. The Grips are Original and also in great shape. The mixed butt caps show that some grip work has taken place, however the club maker maintained a high level of care to finish the clubs off nicely.
I doubt you will find a more complete set in this condition outside the serious collector field.
All of my Ebay offerings are of the highest quality and guaranteed to be as described.
