  1. Hey all, So, I’m a bit new to the antique golf club world—but I must admit, it’s quite the rabbit hole. I found these two clubs at my grandfather’s house, and aside from some AI research, I haven’t been able to find much about them. What’s interesting is the shafts: I believe they’re fiberglass from the 1950s or ’60s. They look like bamboo, and the same shaft on the 2-iron is also on the putter. The 2-iron has three patent numbers stamped on it, along with what I believe is the original True Temper shaft sticker. Based on research and AI assistance, I found the following: "This Spalding Autograph putter features a bamboo-colored fiberglass shaft consistent with True Temper’s early 'Mercury' line. While this shaft lacks a surviving decal, it matches identically (in material, taper, and color) to a companion 2-iron that does carry the original 'Mercury by True Temper' label and the fiberglass shaft patents: 2,916,791, 2,976,553, and 2,890,538." Curious if these clubs have any real value—or if they’re just cool wall decor for the man cave.
