Early sports equipment catalogs are a great resource for details on the golf clubs from that era. Offered here is a 1916 catalog from New York Sporting Goods that contains a treasure trove of sales information on early golf clubs and golf balls. Included are rare advertisements for now-coveted golf balls by St. Mungo, Worthington, Goodrich, and Spalding. This massive catalog is 470 pages with 6 pages of golf content. The cover is separated by taped together. Several loose pages. Poor overall shape, but some great content inside.
