The Play Club (wood driver) has modest finish loss, a small black colored sole plate(? material), and a lead weight built into the back. Measures 42.5 inches from tip of grip to heel. A slight bend is noted from front to back of the shaft. Marked SUNNINGDALE on the top. An ancient unobtrusive irregular tiny piece of wood is missing from just below the letter "D".
The first iron is stamped "Mashie Niblick", "Hand Forged", "SPECIAL" and "SUNNINGDALE" on the back. There is a small leading edge ding on the front left and is otherwise in good playable condition. Measures 36 inches from the heel to end of grip and sports an almost straight shaft.
The second iron, the putter, measures 33.5 inches exhibiting a nice patina on the metal. The markings on the back are the same as the Mashie Niblick except for the word "PUTTER". The shaft has an excessive-appearing bend to it which was either due to warping or was done intentionally. The clubs date to the 1910-1920 era.
