<p>[QUOTE=&quot;roberrific, post: 159667, member: 1039&quot;]This summer I learned some things about golf clubs when i seized upon these wooden putters with painted faces </p><p><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-le74P97El_c/V3_cYClBJtI/AAAAAAAAF-I/i15BixVqFJEdSiudAuO9XRDnCob4uH81ACKgB/s1600/golfclubs2-four.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>I knew they were worth something , probably made in the 1960s or 70s... but its the painted club faces that hooked me - I needed to know what the different colours meant.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sadly as far as pedigree goes , their maker, Spaulding is pretty common and there are aluminum caps on the ends of the metal shafts - worthless.</p><p><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MxvWXHERPAo/V3__h8SL3kI/AAAAAAAAF-k/o45LE8AiWy0dJNr06oyFMeDOZ318FWUngCLcB/s1600/golfclubs1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>I showed the clubs to <a href="http://www.bradleeryall.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bradleeryall.com" rel="nofollow">Bradlee Ryall</a> who teaches golf lessons and he said the painted faces were just there to help the golfer hit the ball. <img src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BQnz-n01gOk/V3_cWFODLFI/AAAAAAAAF-I/WsAxZFUgoCMRhf-i109iM3xJZ5J72P-4gCKgB/s1600/Brad%253Bee-w-golf-clubs2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>He also agreed the clubs are near worthless - but would make attractive wall decorations in his man cave.</p><p><br /></p><p>These pics and more are in <a href="http://dumpdiggers.blogspot.ca/2016/07/lessons-in-identifying-collectible-golf.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://dumpdiggers.blogspot.ca/2016/07/lessons-in-identifying-collectible-golf.html" rel="nofollow">a story detailing what I learned about collecting antique golf clubs</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>in short there&#039;s more to it than hickory shafts and hand painted putters[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
