Lot 109
Mercury Atlas - 9 - Gordon Cooper's Personal Golf Clubs. This complete set of Dunlop gold clubs (Persimmon woods 1-4 with numbered covers and Maxfli irons #2 through a sand wedge) as well as a Shakespeare Gary Player "Black Knight" putter) is housed in a leather golf bag with "GORDON COOPER" across the front. We are told Cooper used these clubs extensively during his NASA days and even when he played in a couple of Jackie Gleason Invitational Golf Tournaments in Florida.
The bag has what appear to be original mud/aging stains, mostly around the bottom, and some of the fittings appear to be slightly rusted but all the snaps and zippers appear to be in working order. Some balls and other golf accessories also included. A great piece of memorabilia.
Estimated Value $750 - 1,000.
Ex. the astronaut LeRoy Gordon "Gordo" Cooper Estate collection.
