Very nice set of 1956 Ben Hogan Precision irons! Faces look great. Standard 2-9

PROBABLY THE MOST DESIRABLE OF ALL THE BEN HOGAN PRECISION MODELS!SIXTY ONE YEAR OLD SET OF BEN HOGAN IRONS!!!  EXCEPT FOR THE GRIPS, THE CLUBS ARE ALL ORIGINAL!THIS IS THE STANDARD 8 CLUB SET, 2 IRON THRU 9 IRON, OF 1956 BEN HOGAN PRECISION IRONS.   THE EQUALIZER (WEDGE) WAS NOT YET IN THE STANDARD SET.  THIS IS HOGAN'S FIRST MODEL WITH THE SHORTER HOSELS AND IT IS STILL CONSIDERED PLAYABLE TODAY. HOGAN'S ONLY EARLIER MODEL, THE 1955 PRECISION, HAD THE OLD-TIME LONG HOSELS WHICH MADE THEM VERY DIFFICULT TO HIT HIGH.ALL OF HOGAN'S IRONS OF THIS ERA WERE MADE BEFORE THE "TRIPLE CHROME PLATING" PROCESS WAS USED IN GOLF CLUBS.  FEW OF THE SURVIVING CLUBS FROM THIS ERA STILL HAVE GOOD SOLID CHROME.  THIS SET DOES!  NO WORN FACES ON THESE CLUBS!THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE 3 IRON DOES NOT MATCH THE OTHER SERIAL NUMBERS.THE FERRULE ON THE 7 IRON HAS A HAIRLINE CRACK IN IT THAT SHOULD BE REPAIRED WITH ACETONE OR GLUE.FIVE OF THE CLUBS STILL HAVE THE COLOR RINGS ON THE FERRULES.  THREE DO NOT.THE GRIPS ARE OLD GOLF PRIDE REPLACEMENT GRIPS AND THEY THEMSELVES SHOULD BE REPLACED.THE SHAFTS ARE TRUE TEMPER ROCKET REGULAR FLEX AND THE SHAFT BANDS ARE IN UNUSUALLY GOOD CONDITION FOR A SET THIS OLD.I'VE POSTED CLOSE-UPS OF THE FACES OF THE 7 IRON AND THE 2 IRON.I'VE ALSO POSTED A CLOSE-UP OF THE HOSELS OF SOME OF THE IRONS SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE TYPICAL "BAG CHATTER" DENTS THAT IRONS USUALLY HAVE.THESE SETS ARE GETTING HARD TO FIND AND MOST SELLERS ARE ASKING A LOT FOR THEM.  DON'T LET THESE BABIES GET AWAY!
