Significant 1933 Bobby Jones

Spalding Die-Cut Advertisement

       As far as golf advertising goes, this may be the “Holy Grail”.

        For many years, this was the centerpiece of one of the foremost golf advertising collections in the world. This piece is, almost without question, unimprovable.

        Offered here is an exceedingly rare large early-1930’s Bobby Jones die-cut Spalding advertising piece. But this isn’t just any Bobby Jones piece – this rare Bobby Jones advertising piece is almost flawless. And keep in mind that until Bobby Jones retired at the end of 1930, he could not be involved with any advertising due to his amateur career.

        The Bobby Jones image and the colors are as exquisite as they were when this piece was produced over 80 years ago. Aside from a crease in the top left and some other barely-discernable marks, this is without question among the finest Bobby Jones advertising pieces known to exist.

        Measures 18” x 28”, and has been professionally framed to 25” x 26”.
