Answers:
The value of the clubs will depend, to a certain extent, in which country they are to be sold. For instance their value would be greater in countries with less golfing history than Britain:- Germany, Switzerland, Austria or maybe Scandinavian countries.
The value of the "woods" wooden heads & shafts depends on age and the club maker.Generally, older woods will have smaller heads and have no face insert and if they are really old the shaft and head will be spliced and not joined by a bore hole.
The irons with a hand symbol will definitely have been produced by the firm George Nicoll of Leven, Fife, Scotland. A well known family owned firm that existed at least till the mid-1970´s.
try asking the pro at your local golf course, or try an Internet search
Contact these guys, they are bound to know their stuff. I saw some old geezer with a club on The Antiques Roadshow and he mentioned he had taken it here to get info on it too. They'll surely tell you if it's worth e-mailing detailed pictures to them or not.

They will have a value to a collector. Could be a few pounds or several hundreds depending on the quality and the provenance. Go to a reputable valuation/sale room who specialise in this kind of antiques and do not believe the oddballs around your local golf course unless they are golf anoraks on MASHIES, NIBLICKS, SPOONS and other old clubs.

Hello Sam
They do have some value but hard to say how much, they are really only valuable to a collector.
Possibly some of the local courses in your area may want to buy them from you to put on display or they may know some one who is looking for antique clubs.
Not really - but they will have intrinsic historic value particularly if they are hickory shafted, in good original condition and were produced by a historically significant figure (the hand print would suggest this) in the world of golf. Speak to sports museums - golf clubs - history buffs ! Most memorabilia collectors (ie some monetary value) are looking for sets that were used by significant figures in golf (ie the set of clubs used by Jack N to win his first British Open recently auctioned for $26,000)...
