Found this at the local thrift store today

It was marked $1.99 so I thought I'd take it. I knew at first sight it was vintage.

It's from the 20's according to the research I did on the net.

Thanks everyone!

I checked all over the store and this was the only one there. It was bought at Savers which is big brothers/big sisters. The shaft is definitely wood, not metal.

The writing on the club head says Walter Hagen, Tom-Boy, #205, Biflector compact blade, pat. applied for. Nothing on the shaft. There is an "H" on the face of the club right in the sweet spot.

I liked the 1 iron trivia, it's true. I used to golf on a league every Tuesday and Thursday during the summer. We put a 1 iron on one of the par 4 holes and had a contest for the longest and straightest drive from the tee box. It was amazing how hard it was to hit with. Just about everyone that did hit the ball some what straight hit a worm burner, including myself. One fellow (the guy that won) only uses a 1 iron, never a driver so it is possable to use just not easy.
