Kroydon Thunderbolt irons

[JerryB]

I'm having trouble finding any info on these irons my dad plays.  He says he bought them from a friend in the early nineties.  He was complaining about the grips being slippery, lol.  Owen and I took him to Golf Galaxy for new grips and we're starting the regripping process now.  The photos are of his 2 iron.  I tried to clean them up a bit.  He has 2-SW minus the 9iron which he replaced with a pretty cool looking Northwestern Tom Weiskopf 360cs.

That name Kroydon thunderbolt brought back some great memories for me.  My dad bought me a set of these irons 2-pw back in the late 60's and they came with white grips on them.

I am not sure but I think they were some house brand as my Dad, a Scotchman, was a true value shopper.  I played with them until the grips fell off and then after putting them aside for a while bought some Titleist irons.  I think back in that time period that replacing worn grips was not a priority and remember seeing the shaft through some of the holes in the grips.
