I’d say those Mac’s should bring $150 at least . They look to be in excellent shape.

 

I’m really intrigued by the Spalding Cannon Advance set you found. I bought a set of Spalding Executive XE irons for my wife. They are a full set of hybrids and very easy for her to hit. I never heard of the Cannon Advance before. I looked them up and it says they were released after the success of the XE’s.

 

What looks really cool about the Cannon’s is the head shape differences between the low to short irons. The XE’s were all the same size and shape generally. The Cannon Advance definitely looks like a refined version of the XE’s.

 

Very cool!

I had a 1 iron xe when they came out about 87. Grooves just shredded the ball. I took them to the range last week. Fairly easy to hit particularly the 3 and 5. Scrambler too.there is a set on eBay 5-w for I think about 150. The xe sets are pretty cool. I hit these even with the medium cflex further and any of my other clubs. Think I’ll keep them awhile. Back to the Mc Gregor, if I can sell the for what I have in mind I can GIVE away about 6 or 8 sets of irons I have just for postage. I gave the VIP set to a member in Charlotte.

Nice find--- They are definitely out of the custom shop note SO in the beginning of the serial number---- Look like VIPs or Muirfields but seems to have a little less bulge on the muscle back.

I wish my goodwill had mint apex II’s. What shafts are in them? If those go up on the sale block I’d be interested!

Going after work to grab 2 old bags with some hickories in them, looks to be 3 or 4 woods and maybe half a dozen irons, probably just going to be for display in the golf room, might give em a whack if the shafts seem solid enough! Ill post pics later once I've got them. Stoked to get them!

[Richard 77]

They are L flex apex but the heads are very nice . Pm me

Thrift stores around here don't carry many golf clubs, some don't have any at all, so when you find one it's pretty exciting. I went back to the one that usually has the most to choose from and found this little gem, it's an M33 4 wood. Doesn't look like it was used much, no issues other than an attempt to restore the head. So it's been painted and re-cleared. The toe stamp is there and looks good, but is mostly filled in from the re-paint and clear. The shaft is a little rusty and it has a decent leather grip. I will put it on the rack for future restoration and continue to look for the rest of the set. Enjoy the pics.

Nice club. Great thrift store find!

[Richard 77]

Saw these today. Picked up a set of tommy armour3-sw 845s not shown but I took pics of these but I didn’t buy them. There was a set of the Ram Investlors, 4 Hogan directors

[Richard 77]

Saw these today! Anted to buy them but was missing 5 and 8. Made in Scotland. Green label rocket shafts but couldn’t determine fles . Also the set of VAS , only second set I’ve seen at goodwill. I ad a set about 15 years ago. Not pretty but they play well. If anyone is interested I’ll go back and get them .pm me if you do

 

[mocokid]

Love those stainless Scottish blades, the VAS- not so much.

[Richard 77]

I may go back and pick them up if they are still there very similar to 1955 top flites but they look smaller. Chances of finding missing clubs are slim and none.

[Richard 77]

How about these !

 

[Richard 77]

 

[mocokid]

I like the looks of those Lady Burke irons, very clean classic look. If only this was 1960 instead of 2019, and I was a gal.

Good excuse to travel to Scotland/Wales/England and Ireland?

[Richard 77]

I didn’t think of that! The grips were perfect on the Burke’s look like brand new clubs.

Wow!!! Lucked into a set of MacGregor Tommy Armour 915's today for under $8 with a MacGregor bag. Forged stainless. Good Chamois grips, some ferrules are missing or damaged though. Still, 1952's 3-PW. Going outside to scrub 'em up now to list em on eBay. What does "V" on the shaft label mean?

Wow! Sweet find!

 

The 1950 Macgregor catalog has a description of the Tourney V shaft and the clubs they were featured.

Great find! I think they might be a slightly later model though:

I dunno. My Golfworks books only shows 915's for one year. Then they became 925's. At least that's how I read it. Does the Macgregor catalog differ?

Kaplan shows the irons you have as a 1967 model. The tell-tale sign is ‘Silver Scot Tourney’ being stamped on the toe whereas the late 40s-early 50s version had Tourney on the toe and Silver Scot stamped on the muscle pad. There was a 985 model that year too.

 

[deejaid]

You might be right Steve. The Kaplan book shows they might be a 1966 model as well as it lists T915 irons and says “In 1966, a second shaft is again available on Silver Scot irons. This is a medium firm “Silver V” flex”.

 

These sure look like they have the “Silver V” shaft.

[dcopp7]

Guess my Golfworks book sucks... ;)

Ah yes. Quite so.

[dcopp7]

Scored well today, but I have my work cut out for me on clean up & de-rusting. Wilson Staff FG-17's 3-PW , Trevino Signature with the sombrero 3-PW, a Ping Eye2+ SW, a couple junk putters, a ruined MacGregor Pro Only bag, a Wilson X31 SW I needed for my set (too bad it's aluminum shaft), about 50 tees, two Rawlings Lee Trevino laminate woods, and a Wilson Staff Tour Block ii 3&5 wood. All for a $20!

[Richard 77]

Where are you buying all that stuff?
