3 left handed fancy face woods from around the late 1920's. Two interesting points -- they are left handed and likely there is only a small number in existence, and second, they have excellent markings. Note that Albert Goodwill Spalding and George Wright were both baseball players on the Boston Baseball Championship team from 1871-75 and both were inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame. Spalding and Wright and Ditson were closely tied from 1894 thru the early 1940's, when Wright became part of Spalding. Description: (1) AG Spalding ''D' wood - Duncan Model, 2 patent dates, 1919 and 1926, black/red maltese cross ivorine insert, head very good, red ferrule very good with extended black ferrule another 7" above red ferrule; black painted steel shaft very nice with only paint wear; good 14" leather wrap grip (2) AG Spalding ''S' wood - Duncan Model, 2 patent dates, 1919 and 1926 same as matching 'D' wood, white/black maltese cross ivorine insert; head very good, whipping and red ferrule very good; black ferrule extends another 7" above red ferrule; black painted steel shaft very nice with only paint wear; good 14" leather wrap grip with tight collar whipping (3) George Wright "1 2" wood, two patent dates 1923 and 1926, beautiful colored target ivorine insert; whipping in place; steel shaft blackened but remnant of "Bristol Steel Corp shaft" quite good (indicating this was not sheathed); good 14" leather wrap grip. These came from the same owner and my guess is the D wood is the driver, the Wright wood a brassie and the S wood for additional fairway purposes with its higher loft. D wood 43"; Wright wood 42 1/2"; S wood 41 1/2". Great set for show and look sturdy enough to hit.
