Antique golf clubs

[Simbo]

My young nephew has started playing and my old boy was at his mates house telling him that his grandson has started golfing, to which his mate replied, he can have my old clubs if he wants, so my dad brings them home. Iv just had a look in the bag and there's a 10 iron!
So who can remember using a 10 iron? Personally Iv never even heard of them before, it's a john letters "par buster" lol.

I know someone with a set of Callaway irons that have a 10i. Here's one on ebay...

What would a 10 iron be a 52?

10 iron was very common in older Hogan sets and Daiwa amongst others. Equivalent to a PW - or P - or W - or whatever you call that club in your bag. Definitely not 52 degrees - more like 48-50 degrees.

My first set of irons was a set of Macgregor Tourney splits-soles - 2nd hand 1976. It had a 10 iron (and no PW)

Many years ago I had a set of John Letters irons that included a 10-iron. It was basically a pitching wedge by another name.

to some on this forum ANTIQUE golf clubs are only 12 months old and been used for 5 rounds

Op they still have another 50 years to go before you can call them antiques.

Letters were decent clubs in their time The early Fred Daly irons were classics.
10 iron was quite common in the 1960's.

I've a mate who plays a set of Callaway 4i - 10i although not sure about what model they are. Will have to check next time I see him.

Plenty of Japanese sets still have PW called a 10 - as per the Diawa ones.

And, as has been noted, those are not 'antique' yet - just 'old'.
