This item is an 11 club set of  ca. 1920's Wright&Ditson hickory shafted irons, fancy face woods and putter in an old all leather bag for display. These are 8 irons with hickory shafts. All were sold by Wright&Ditson from their Kro-Flite series. Included are a 1,2,3,4,5,6,17 (Pitcher) & 19 (Niblick). The serial numbers match on all but two of the irons. Spalding owned Wright& Ditson. There is a 2 club set, driver and brassie, of matching Wright&Ditson George Wright Model woods with black painted steel shafts. There is also a steel shafted fancy face George Wright putter. This is the way sets were sold in the late 1920's into the 30's. Irons with hickory shafts and woods with steel/pyratone faux wood shafts. Most manufacturers stopped offering hickory shafted woods around this time. All of the clubs are in good display condition but might have some issues. Shafts are pretty good and straight. I see tight cracks in two of the shafts and one has a large sliver of wood missing. The black coating on the wood shafts is in fair condition with some rubbing. I see a tight crack in the head/neck of one of the woods. The iron heads are all clean and rust free. The bag is a top quality in its day all leather collapsible that was sold by A J reach. Spalding also owned Reach. It was no doubt expensive. It has several interesting features. There is an attached leather travel cover that zips up when the clubs are being transported. The travel cover folds down on the outside of the bag during play or can also be tucked inside the bag during play. Two large zippered pockets. I haven't tried the zippers for fear of ripping out more of the stitching. Some of the stitching is failing. The leather feels a bit dry but is not all cracking. Carry strap is still there and intact but I would not use it when the bag is full of clubs as it might break. Leather handle is missing. The stitching in these old bags often came apart. You have to be very careful with any of these 90 +/- year old bags as the handles and straps tend to break or the stitching tends to come loose if you load them with clubs and carry them around. Not recommended for modern day play. There are also 2 interesting old locks. Please look at the zoom pictures for a better idea of condition. Not for play! Display only.
