Old persimmon fairway wood

I have an old fairway 7 wood that belonged to my dad and have been unable to find out any information about the club.  It has V.I.D. stamped on the bottom plate and in the wood on the side.  It has a steel shaft and the original label on the shaft says it is a light weight.

Would appreciate any help in letting me know anything about this club.

Thanks,

its not persimmon its a lamenated head. persimmon is a solid block of wood. could have been made by a local club maker.

Thanks for clearing that up.  Thought my Dad had bought better clubs for that time period - guess I was wrong!!  I'll keep it anyway as a remembrance.

nothing wrong with laminate its actually stronger

It are at least 40-70 years old.  Do not know when he bought it, and it may be older than that.  I know I remember seeing it in his bag 40=45 years ago, but it was bought how long before that - your guess is as good as mine.  I can tell you he lived all of his life in Baltimore, MD and he probably bought the club there if that helps.

Want to thank you all for the help - I will put the wood in a safe place and watch it age.  Again, appreciate all the help!!
