Where is my time machine? Dang! :banghead:

By looking at the offering I'd guess this was from about 1960... and the median US income was around $4,000 then which puts it into perspective.

If that top shelf 375 driver cost $228.00 US in 1960 it would cost about $1872. today. Suddenly the new top tier drivers seem a little more palatable.

Similar pricing or sometimes a buck lower in this price list from 1962:
