Club Restoration

[ScienceBoy]

Moved here as the original thread became a heated discussion on the oldest club in the UK.

Three pics of the clubs I own, a set of 2 and 3 wood plus 2-niblick of mixed brand plus another putter and a spare 4 and 5 iron. If anyone wants any close-ups of any please let me know, some are W H Davies, a putter is Ben Sayers and R J Gibson (cant find on the net).

The rest are seemingly unbranded or "Connoisseur"

As you can see the grips of some are in a sorry state, I have thought about getting them restored but I have no idea how.

Anyone else own anything like these?

If you want them restored you could try this guy. He is in shropshire so you would have to post them bt he has a great reputation up here.

From the pics, they don't actually look that old. Possibly 1930s/1940s era. They've all got steel shafts some of them covered in a wood effect plastic type coating. The putter looks a little like the Ben Sayers Bennie model.

Not really worth much I'd say, so getting them renovated would not be all that cost effective. You'd not get back what you pay out on them.

Sorry

More looking to make them playable, never going to sell them. I guessed under that brown stuff was steel and that they were not ancient.

From research the current value is under 20 a club.

I would like to get them regripped in the correct style so I can play with them in the summer for fun!

It says Benny on it, and a little bird picture too
