Our service applies across a very broad spectrum.
GOLF MEMORABILIA
With the history of the game of golf dating back centuries and with many golf clubs still retaining memorabilia dating back to the 19th century and in some cases earlier, it is critically important that the value of these assets, is comprehensively and accurately assessed. With such a varied range of differing types of memorabilia, including: books, clubs, balls, artwork, trophies, medals, silverware, autographed memorabilia, programmes, photographs, postcards, cigarette cards, apparel etc. There is a significant need to acquire the very best specialist advice.
The presentation of a well-considered memorabilia display is a significant asset for any golf club, which adds to the overall positive experience gained during a visitation. In the current climate, it is increasingly important to attract additional footfall, by promoting and highlighting the history with which the club is associated.
