Product Information
In the world of sports, golf stands unique. Its memorabilia goes back over two centuries and it offers collectors an enormous breadth of items to accumulate, much at very affordable prices. The 750 color photographs in this volume provide an introduction to the different categories of golf collectibles. Antique golf clubs and balls, the heart of the game, are covered in detail. Books about golf, comics, old photographs, postage stamps, postcards, jewelry, ceramics, silverware, and toys from the United States and Britain show how golf themes have been incorporated into the form of everyday items for over a century. Museum quality pieces are presented along with items still available at flea markets and swap meets. This book guides the collector on a tour of the many facets of golf and demonstrates that there is still plenty of opportunity to develop a collection of golf items.Product Identifiers

ReviewsThere are lots of books on golf collectibles out there. However, Antique Golf Collectibles newly released from Collector Books is one of the best organized and delivered of them all. The wide coverage includes clubs, balls, ceramics, metal wares, and all sorts of (paper) ephemera. "Golf is older than soccer, tennis, and the modern Olympics," notes author Pete Georgiady. "It is still a relatively quite pastime. It's not overcrowded and the items are not overpriced."
