That is nice. I always like the EOMatics that said "Eye O Matic" like that on the toe stamp. Nice persimmon! I think that model was only made 1 year, then they went to the 6 screw model for about 4 years.

Hey Freddie~

I actually own that Eye O Matic stamp.. an original from the MacGregor factory.. Let me know I can always stam one of your clubs and paintfill it!

Yes, the 5 screw pattern EOMs were only made in 1952. I owned a 1952 M75 EOM 3-wood back in the day. I also wish I had this one.

Sam,
Yeah, the M75 is also a great wood. I have a super set of M75s with 6 screws in really mint shape. I might carry the 3 wood this year in my vintage bag. I recently found out that back in the day, Ben Crenshaw played a M75 3 wood for some time. I'm sure there were a lot of other players that did too.

What a beauty! Who did the refinish?

Hey Freddie~I just bought a lot of 20 MacGregor persimmons and after stripping 3 drivers I realize that I have a 653T, an M33T and a 1952 EOM M85w 5 screw driver with this stamp. The stamp can barely be discerned but it is 100% this driver. How can I get this rest amped?
