J. KLEES" embossed in gold color with wood handle leather wrapped. Also 1 iron marked MID-IRON and WARANTEED HAND FORGED. They were both ownd by Mr. Day, a friend who lived in Chicago and loved golf. If living he would be over 100 years of age. OH, by the way the sole plate on the wood appears to be brass with a section of steel in the face. I plan of giving these to a friend who manages on of the Edward Jones brockerage offices. Do they have any significant value?, and who would be the likely manufacture around 1910. I'm betting Mr. Day bought them from Charlie around 1910 which makes them 100 years old. I am age 82, arrive in Chicago to go to school (De Vry N Ashland at Diversy in 1948 (GI Bill Of Rights). Left the area (transferred to Harrisburg, Pa (State Capitol) 1977. Was there for the Preston Tucker trial (Tucker Auto). Tootsie Roll now occupies the old Chrysler plan in Cicero. Thanks in advance for helping the "old timer" from Chicago during his formative years Hi Folks, I have 1 wood (no marking) except “CHAS. J.
