A patented product (#2,329,313 as appears on the back of the club) this adjustable club was marketed by International Golf Products of Hinsdale, Illinois. It is one of 120 patents on adjustable clubs since 1895. The concept behind this product was that one club with the turn of a knob could play the entire course. This 37" club is equipped with a stainless steel shaft, and is identified on the back of the club as "MIRACLE". This club which shows use does not display any significant nicks, rust or pitting on the clubhead or shaft. The marketing of this club included these phrases, "The 'Miracle' is scientifically designed and balanced...to help you score better" and "You'll play better, too, because you won't be tired from lugging a heavy bag".

This item comes from the Penna Family Collection. This highly successful and respected professional golfing family offers golf mementoes from the careers of brothers Toney Penna and Charley Penna, and Tommy Armour whom Toney and Charley worked under for many years as pros at Boca Raton in Florida and various courses in the Chicago area. Toney was a consistent top 20 money winner on the PGA Tour in the 1930's and 40's while his brother Charley competed in 20 U.S. Open and PGA Championships. We have it all from their storied careers in golf both on and off the course, including everything from contestant’s pins, to used sets of clubs, and prototypes for Penna's famous clubs. Toney is an icon when it comes to club making in the 20th Century, first with the MacGregor Golf Company as their chief of design and then later with his own brand of Penna clubs. Many of the designs of club heads used today were first developed by the genius of Toney. We introduce you to this extraordinary collection by offering various lots from the family’s collection in this special offering. This is an opportunity to acquire golf history, possibly for the last time.
