9 Club Antique Vintage Patented Hickory/Bamboo Shaft Iron Set Putter Spalding

This auction is for a right handed 9 club set of antique vintage wooden shafted clubs. The 8 irons were made for the Pro D E Miner by Spalding from their Kro-Flite Model. Minor was a pro at numerous different courses in OH, NH, ME, NC and FL depending on the year and season. The irons all have the matching Registration number on them. The putter was made by MacGregor from their OA Model with a nice wide flange on the sole. It was made for the pro August Schiltz who was in CT. The heads are in very good vintage condition. They are not rusted or pitted and have a nice patina to them. They but do show use and have the expected play nicks and dings. Please look at the multiple zoom pictures for a better idea of condition. The shafts are all Patented bamboo and hickory. Please see the scan of the 1922 Patent. The shafts are in very good condition. They are straight and the laminate is not all separated. The shafts are installed into a hickory plug that goes into the hosel and they are whipped at the plug/shaft joinder. Great for display. There is some play at several of the hosels. Here are the play specs for the clubs if that is what you are considering. Included are (with their play specs) a 1 Iron 38 3/4" 21* loft C 4 swingweight, a 2 Iron 38 1/4" long, 25* Loft and C 4 swingweight, a 3 Iron 371/4" 29* C 2, a 4 Iron 37" 34* C 1, a 5 Iron 36 1/2" 38* C 2, a 6 Iron 36 1/4" 41* C 3, a 17 Iron 36 1/4" 47* C 3 and a 19 Iron 36" 52* D 1. All but the 2 iron have the Patent date on the shaft. The putter is 35" and D 2 (quite heavy for a putter of its day. The grips are the apparently original long leather wraps and they are in very good condition. They have been waxed and whipped. While you do see occasional individual clubs with the patented hickory and bamboo shafts it is very rare to find a complete matching set, particularly in this condition. They just didn't survive.  Shipping for this item is calculated and via Priority Mail based on a 12 pound box.
