Set of Ben Hogan Personal Model Irons 2-9 & PW #1242H with Display & Certificate
Presented here is a wonderful Limited Edition set of Ben Hogan Personal irons 2-9 and "Equalizer," or pitching wedge, made to commemorate the exact set he used during his famous 1953 record setting season. This set is #1242 on the certification and verso of the Ben Hogan medallion. The irons are unused, with the exception of the "Equalizer" or pitching wedge containing a minor dime size strike zone wear on face. Slight scratching likely from storage can be found on 8 and 5 irons. These have been on display in the pictured oak display case and comes complete with original paperwork, grips, apex shafts, certificate of authenticity and matching numbered medallion featuring the raised image of Hogan himself. This is a beautiful and historically significant set. Highly desirable on many levels. Ben won each major he played in 1953 - Masters, U.S. Open and British Open. Don’t pass up this golden opportunity.
