This item is a 36 1/2" right handed antique vintage hickory shafted early smooth face iron. It is an Iron. Faintly marked Wright&Ditson Hand Forged on the back. Ca. 1900. The head is clean and in good vintage condition. It does have some micro pitting and the expected play nicks and dings. Please look at the many zoom pictures to get a better idea of condition. The shaft is an old original hickory Wright&Ditson marked hickory. The shaft has a bend, I see no crack...s and it has some play at the hosel. All hickory shafted clubs should be re-set prior to play. The grip is missing and has been replaced with tape. 26* loft and a C 9 swingweight for play. I believe this shaft has been cut down so the weight is actually pretty good at full length. You could put in to play if you did the necessary work.If you are considering playing with this club, while I see no issues with this hickory shaft (other than those mentioned above), I suggest that whipping be added just above the hosel to help prevent breakage. These hickory shafts often have hidden defects and are liable to break at any time. I do not guarantee hickory shafts against breakage when put into play. Never hit an old hickory shafted club off a driving range mat. Never hit an old hickory shafted wood with a hard range ball.Shipping in the US is calculated for this item and based on a 2 pound box. The closer you are to me in NC (27712 zip) the less shipping will be. That is the way shipping works as it costs me more to ship a greater distance with all the carriers. I do ship pretty much worldwide but shipping is a lot more to foreign locations and is also calculated.
