Francis Ouimet Original Artwork and Autograph

        Very rarely do you find original artwork that is so recognizable that just about every golf collector is familiar with it. This original drawing of a young Francis Ouimet along with his equally famous caddie, Eddie Lowery, is the central part of this vignette that also has a wonderful drawing of an elder Ouimet in his R&A Captain's jacket. This exact image was used to produce the now famous First Day Cover used to commemorate the release of the Francis Ouimet U.S. Postage stamp that was issued on June 13, 1988 - 75 years to the day that he won his 1913 US Open. If that wasn't enough, a mint FDC is included along with a spectacular Ouimet signature signed on Feb. 12, 1960. The signature alone is worth more than the reserve of this lot. Framed to your liking, this would make a wonderful, truly one-of-a-kind display.
