Set of Auchterlonie Wood Shafted

Salesman Sample Golf Clubs

        Offered here is a hard to find early-1900's set of miniature "salesman sample" irons and woods from St. Andrews' famous clubmaking family, the Auchterlonies.

        These clubs range from only 12 1/2" to 15" long, and are every bit as handmade of the full-size Auchterlonie clubs of the day. These small Salesman Sample clubs would allow a salesman to easily transport the company's latest club offerings to golf shops and sporting goods stores without having to lug around dozens of full-size golf clubs.

        This set consists of four original Auchterlonie irons and one wood.
