The valuation ledger

The honest answer is: less than hope, more than nothing — and it depends which club. Common irons in honest, playable condition change hands for tens rather than hundreds. Scarce types in fine condition — a good niblick, a jigger, an early serpent-marked head — reach several hundred pounds or dollars. Complete sets are recorded here at price per club, divided from the realised set price, because a set is only worth having complete.

The ledger above is the evidence, not opinion: every point is a completed sale with a published source, checked before publication, so the medians move only when real sales happen. Condition matters as much as rarity — a pitted, re-gripped club is a different object from a clean one — and the filters let you see that split.

If you are working out what your own club is, start with the identification guide, confirm the mark against the cleek-mark archive, then compare it against the filtered results above. If you find a documented sale the ledger is missing, please submit it — every verified result makes the picture more honest.
