Quite nice. I remember these back in the day . The course I was at never carried Wilson stuff, but pretty much every other course in the area did. And these were quite popular. I remember they were the type of clubs golfers would use because it was either that or Ping, which looked like cartoon clubs to most people.
How times have changed....

Yep. Wish it was Wilson, Macgregor and Hogan that would be the big boys in club manufacturing today, instead of Ping and Callaway.
Btw, I've never owned Wilsons ..... what are those red dots at the bottom of the hosels? Are they for the shaft? Do they take out? Are they just for cosmetics?

Yikes! You lose that red dot and your irons will look pretty bad.

They're little rubber nubs that fill the bore through. Having them intact is a sign that the clubs have the original shafts. If they are black then the shafts were changed and the builder filled the holes with epoxy.

I want to meet the guy that dropped these sets off at an ebay "isoldit" storefront and slap 'em, lol. I'm really only watching the Wilson's, but come on man, don't drop these sets at an ebay store!
... Actually, the Spalding "bird on ball" Tour Editions are looking pretty hot... must... not... bid....

All those rare sets in new condition, I'm thinking they all belonged to one guy, and maybe it was sold in an estate sale. Or maybe someone had a sporting goods store that went out of business during that time.
Those Spaldings weren't there earlier. They do look real sweet.
