Wilson Blue Ridge can be found in the early 1940s, and the Wilson company had a history of attaching the names of famous golfers to their woods and irons; I find Sam Snead's name on Wilson irons as far back as 1942, in fact. But the earliest I can find Sam Snead's name as part of the Wilson Blue Ridge is 1964-1965. Magazine ads of that era spoke of the "Sam Snead Wilson Blue Ridge"-- a set which contained 2 woods and 5 irons. It does not seem that the name got changed to "Wilson Sam Snead Blue Ridge" till the early 1970s, but it was not official-- many newspaper ads still placed Snead's name at the beginning, rather than in the middle.
