Green Jacket Auctions' Statement on Early Golf Clubs

To celebrate the 10^th Anniversary of Green Jacket Auctions(!!!), we’ve been surveying the hobby and have an observation to share: early golf clubs, which for decades were the driving force of the entire collecting industry, are vastly oversold and incredibly undervalued in the current market. This is especially true for museum quality clubs, which we consider to be the top 5% of known examples. If there has ever been a time in the past 50 years to pay attention to the earliest golf clubs, now is that time.

High Grade Tom Morris Short Spoon Circa 1860

Tom Morris short spoon, ca. 1860. A total original club by the most important figure in the history of the game. Patterned after the slim and elegant clubs of Hugh Philp, Old Tom's early clubs are highly prized. Clubs of this era in original condition are genuinely rare. Though later, less quality Tom Morris clubs abound, they don't begin to compare to a high grade early example such as the offered club.
