Need to identify this club

Question

club1   QUESTION: My father in law brought this club to my husband to put in our yard sale. We do not know what to price it as or if we should just keep it. Attached is a pic my husband took with his phone. Can you help us identify this club? It does not have any markings or grip on it so I cannot find anything similar online.
I have a pic of the club head as well that i can send.

ANSWER: Amanda,

Wooden shafted irons are typically identified via the head of the club. The club appears to be wooden shafted or a metal shaft made to look like wood. In either case there is typically a marking or symbol on the head to help identify it.
If there is none I believe it may be a mass produce item. To be certain there is a antique club that may be able to help. try www.golfforallages.com

Answer
Amanda,

Obviously there is a lot of "crust" on the head. The best way to remove this stuff without hurting the club is to get a greenee for drill. Its a nylon wheel that installs into a drill or drill press. it will remove the "stuff" so you can see the markings.
The markings a paramount to identifying the club. Each clubmaker of the Scotland or late 1800 place a symbol or brand to identify the club as built by them. If you can find that you will one step closer to knowing about your club.
