Antique Golf Clubs

Can anyone point me in the direction of learning about antique
Abercrombie and Fitch golf clubs? Recently acquired five sets with
original sales receipts and am trying to figure out exactly what I have
so that I can figure out how best to remove them from my inventory.

Kris Baker...

Do they have wood shafts? Are the clubs themselves marked
with the Abercrombie & Fitch logo?

I can't even get anything like that to come up on web-search or that
big online auction site. A true mystery, for sure.

You can ask them here:

The company's so far from what they used to be.

Loudon Briggs...

Abercrombie & Fitch did not make their own clubs! They were made for
them by companies like Kroydon and Scottish clubmakers and had the A&F
name imprinted on them. I'm referring to hickory shafted clubs and
they could be of significant value if that's what you have. An old
price guide (1991) I have, shows a few individual clubs priced from
$15 to $95, and I'm sure the value has matured since then. Also,the
ones you have acquired are sets, and the value often escalates in that
situation.

To try for more explicit info, I'd suggest that you contact The Golf
Collectors Society... web-search that name and you should get a URL to get
in touch.

Thanks Kris,

I'm a dork, I really want a book on the subject to read. The auction
site and web-search didn't turn up anything for me either. The clubs all
have wooden shafts and some are marked with the A&F logo. Everytime I
have Abercrombie sporting goods I get a good chuckle out of wondering
what their current customer base would think if they knew that the
company ever sold firearms. :)
