Thank you.
It is quite possible that long ones are at least late 19th century. The new one could be too. Good clubs would be cared for passed on. Even the small one with the shell inlay could be that old. However it is best to assume they are from the early 20th century. In the collecting world one is not to polish clubs, a big no no, but in there real life they would have been nourished with oils and kept like any soldier keeps their gun.
