A. All these are golf clubs. The angle does not show some well. Measurements coming. To be photographed - the topaz-colored glass golf club top left, with the silver overlay. Looks like glass. Not sure. A similar one in green glass with silver overlay is dated at 1900 at this site, ://www.bathantiquesonline.com/antiques-collectibles/hat-pins-hatpins/antique-hat-pins-hatpins-collectibles-1.html

Three silver/ silvery golf club drivers:1. This golf club has a silver hallmark, an anchor and an animal, and the rest we can't decipher. Head is just under 1", then the cuff at ", then the rod at 7 3/4".
There is one like this dated at 1900 at this site, ://www.bathantiquesonline.com/antiques-collectibles/hat-pins-hatpins/antique-hat-pins-hatpins-collectibles-1.html

They do start to look alike. This one has a trapezoidy marking for the sweet spot on the club, and a pointy oval marking on the other side of the club.

2. Golf club, our biggest head although it does not look it here, and with picture of a golfer and clubhouse and in flag on base, at bottom. No sterling marks.Head is over 1" long, then the cuff at 1 1/4", and the rod at 7". The head has a shaped pointy tip, more than the others, like a ship's prow.
Here is its base, with the golfing scene - golfer finishing a drive, and clubhouse with flag behind. One like it is at lot 301 at ://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/4195989No sterling mark, no hallmark.

3. Golf club with sterling mark. J something& Co?
This resembles another here, but is smaller - head about 5/8" long, then add the cuff before coming to the rod, another 7/8"; then the rod itself at 7 3/4".

Then, two topazy glass drivers:4. Golf club - this is a driver, but the flat end is facing out, not the curve part, in a deep topaz-color glass probably.
Rod = 9 3/4".

Howard C. Scharfe and Marjorie Scharfe Hatpin Collection, jockey or possibly baseball player hatpinSterling shouter. Is this baseball or a jockey? The long brim would catch the wind in a horserace, or even hit the horse's neck if the jockey leans over, butt up, head at the mane. Rod here is 7". Head of pin is just over 1".Still, someone else has a jockey hatpin, and the hat has the long brim as this one has. See ://anpmorehatpins.blogspot.com/. So: need to look up jockey uniforms through the years. In baseball, the long brim would shield the sun. Still checking.
Jockey may be closer to the recreational interests of the leisure classes?
