Not quite NOS. Hardly used but used. I remember having some of those in one of the big leather tour bags my father accumulated over the years. He kept two or three of them in the garage/carriage house on the farm and they were filled with his old irons and woods. Late '50's to early '60's, maybe. Good blades with the right shafts. Right next to the garage was a big old black walnut tree and when I was young, I'd grab an iron from one of those bags and hit the walnuts off the ground. In case you've never seen a walnut freshly fallen from a tree, it is about 50% larger than a golf ball with a light green skin with a layer of pulp between the skin cover and the actual nut within the shell inside. Sort of like a really big four piece golf ball. Now when you hit it, the skin breaks and you get a splash of that pulpy sh*t all over the clubface but it flies sort of like a golfball if you make walnut-first contact with the clubface. The greenish walnut juice washes off pretty easily but if you leave it on, it sort of hardens and stains the clubface and then you'd need a powerful solvent to get it off. I used gasoline from one of the pumps in back of the garage.
Mostly Taylormade clubs now except for two Ping I25 hybrids, Mizuno 54 & Callaway 56 wedges.
