Here is a great one. Golf collectibles. Everything from clubs to shoes, to bags, to balls, to
tees. It's just an amazing assortment. This particular book is called The Encyclopedia
of Golf Collectibles. Let me just give you some basic pointers about golf and I'm one
who learned from experience, the hard way. Golf clubs. You don't even want to look at
golf clubs really unless they have like wooden shafts. I mean if you're starting your golf
collection because the shafts are metal, their newer. But there's all kind of things to look
for. Wooded shafted clubs, 1890 to 1935. So that's probably what you want to check for
first for your first screening mechanism on your golf clubs. Iron headed. They are iron
headed, they are wooden shafts but iron heads. Here is all the samples. It is really amazing.
They have all these different brand names on them and they probably called them signatures
as well. Here they are called face markings. Iron head face markings. On the clubs themselves,
the real golf freaks, which I'm not one so I'm kind of faking my way through this one.
Look at this, you can tell the type of golf club that it is. The brand by the type of
iron head face marking which would be dots and dashes is one brand. Then there is a scored
line which is another brand. How about a hyphen. Can you imagine checking your golf clubs for
hyphens. Then we have a hyphen with dots in a box. That's pretty amazing. Then we have
a regular hand punched hole design. Then we have a dot punched regular. Over here, a diamond
back. I don't know about you, but I think golf clubs are just a little to much for me.
I think I can't try to get all of this in my head. Here is the wood shafted club designs.
It's just to much for me. It's fun, but here's some beautiful advertising they had for the
golf clubs. They had these magazines, they had posters for tournaments. Here is a whole
golf calendar. You know I really tried to play golf but it was boring. I even took lessons
because it was cool to play golf. You know you mix and mingle with the upper crust and
all that. Here's the golf balls. These are assortment of Guta Percha golf balls. Guta
Percha is a very unique material. It's not rubber. It's kind of a plasticized old, old
composition. Oh I see it's getting late. I hear the bells ringing. I guess we better
move on. But these golf clubs here, it's not my cup of tea actually, but if your a golf
person, you might want to start here. Some of you, you know might have a partner, a husband,
a wife that is in to golfing and if they do the whole golf thing well maybe you can get
in to it a little bit if your interested in the kind of clubs they use. I mean I don't
know it is only an idea. But if you will notice, a lot of Executives and stuff have all this
golf stuff in there office like collectibles. Balls and pins and bags and tees, you know
all that golf stuff. So anyways this is a kind of a different hobby because I didn't
even know if your would believe that their was such a thing as golf collectibles and
yes there is. Good luck.
