This auction is for an antique vintage set of Tom Stewart irons. Stewart was from St Andrews Scotland and his clubs are highly sought after for their playing characteristics. All of the clubs are marked for Yeoman of Chicago (the putter is a Herd&Yeoman). Three of the clubs (3,4 & 6 irons) have the initials FO and RTJ on them. These initials are for the famous amateur golfers Francis Ouimet and Robert T. Jones, Jr (Bobby Jones). Stewart made clubs for both Jones and Ouimet but used there initials without their consent and had to cease and desist so you don't see many Stewart clubs with these initials on them. Included in this 9 club set with play specs (all are lined face scoring) are a 1 Iron 38 3/4" long, 20*loft, C 5 swingweight, a 2 Iron 38 3/4" 26* D 6, a 3 Iron 38" 31* C 3, a 4 Iron 37 1/2" 34* C 3, a Mashie Iron 37 1/2" 30* C 0, a 6 Iron 36 1/2" 38* C 6, a Mashie Niblick 35 3/4" 44* B 5, an 8 Niblick 35" 48* C 7 and a Putter 35" C 4. The heads are clean and not all rusted or pitted (the putter has a darker patina). They do have the expected play nicks and dings along with some discoloration. Please look at the zoom pictures for a better idea of condition. The shafts are all old hickories. All the shafts (except for the putter) are marked for Yeoman. 2 shafts have a minor bend and the rest are straight. I see no cracks in any of the shafts. If I work at it I can make several of them move at the hosel. Keep in mind that all hickory shafts should be reset prior to play. The grips are all old long leather wraps that are in fair to good vintage condition. Very hard to find set. Shipping for this item is calculated via Priority Mail and based on an 11 pound box. The further you are from me in NC the more shipping will be. That is the way carriers charge. International shipping will also be 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.
