At one time I thought these were bamboo, but now I am not sure. There are no markings on the clubs except as show in the 2nd photo. Set is 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
Are these golf clubs collectibles? | ||

This might apply. I'm not a golfer so unsure:
Learn the difference between hickory and pyratone faux-wood shafts. Pyratone was a non-metallic casing patented in 1926 and used to coat early steel shafts. The material was mostly yellow, black and brown and made to resemble wood. Unknowledgeable sellers often sell pyratone shafts as hickory. Unsure? Try a magnet. This will stick to the steel shaft beneath the pyratone sheath. Also, note the joint between the shaft and the head. Pyratone shafts have a little ferrule that joins the shaft to the head. On a hickory iron, the shaft goes directly into the head, where it’s glued and pinned. Pyratone clubs are not legal for SoHG play.
Hi pw-collector,
Thank you. It turns out the clubs not wood and are from 1939.
