Wood 3 golf club used by Ethel Funches

A wood golf club from Wilson, used by Ethel Funches.

The shaft is silver in color and is made out of metal. There is a black rubber grip at the top. The grip has tan and grey zig zag and chevron designs. There is a line drawing of a crown and it reads [PRO ONLY] above it. There is a hole in the top and there are cracks all over the rubber grip. Some of the rubber and the metal are worn away at the bottom of the grip.

There is a clear adhesive label on the shaft. It is partially torn and has black text. Some of the letters are faded and unreadable. Part of the sticker reads [-INTERTO]. There are several scuffed lines going around the shaft.

The head of the club is made of a dark wood. There are two gold bands around the part closest to the shaft. There are scuffs and scratches in several different areas, and the proper left side has wear and tear from where it hit the ball.

The underside of the head has scratches and some red lines. There is a piece of metal covering most of it. It has four (4) nails securing it to the wood. The metal has a bit of discoloring as well as some dents and scratches. There is text on the piece of metal. It is indented into it. The center has several different fonts and reads [Wilson / Lady / {horizontal line} / 1200 / 4200]. On the proper right side, it reads [PAT. NO. 31T2007]. On the proper left side there is a large number "3".
