Antique/Vintage 1910s–1920s Hickory 8-Piece Golf Set inc. Authentic Canvas & Leather Sunday Bag

 

8-piece vintage golf set featuring hickory-shafted clubs by prominent Scottish and English club-makers.

 

NB The following details have been AI generated from uploaded photographs and I am unable to confirm if these details are fully accurate, as I have no knowledge of antique/vintage golf equipment and much of the text is indistinguishable, requiring restoration.  

Please do not bid/purchase if you are unsure of the equipment, condition or provenance.  

These clubs were inherited from my grandfather, who played golf until the age of 90+ in Whitby, Yorkshire, and they will likely have been acquired in Northern England and Scotland.  

Please message me if any of the descriptions are inaccurate – thank you.
