MacGregor Tourney persimmon driver, 1 wood, vintage
Persimmon-headed drivers from the 1950s and 60s sell to collectors and to golfers who play hickory and classic events. Head cracks and missing whipping kill value; a clean face and intact shaft label keep it interesting.
Estimated resale range (used)
$20 – $55
A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it
- Inspect the persimmon head closely for cracks and for a face insert that has lifted or been replaced
- Check the whipping around the hosel and the shaft band or label, both of which are often missing
- Look at the leather grip for cracking and note the shaft flex marking if it is still readable
Where the number comes from
Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.
Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
