Significant Augusta National
Dwight Eisenhower & Bobby Jones Gold
Locket
Offered here is one of the more significant pieces of Augusta National
memorabilia that we've ever encountered.
This is a one of a kind Augusta
National solid gold locket that was a gift from Dwight Eisenhower, Mamie
Eisenhower, Bobby Jones & Clifford Roberts.
The Eisenhowers, Jones and Roberts
gave this unique locket to Lowrey Stulb, the architect of Mamie's Cabin at
Augusta National.
Simply put, we've never seen anything
like this. This intricate locket is in the shape of Augusta National's United
States logo, and is engraved with the signatures of the Eisenhowers, Jones and
Roberts, and imprinted with images of Mamie's Cabin and the Eisenhowers. The
back of the locket is engraved with the recipient, Lowrey Stulb.
The locket measures 1 3/8" x 1", and
is in excellent condition.
This locket is being consigned
directly from the Stulb family. It has never been offered for sale before,
though it was mentioned in these two articles by The Augusta Chronicle about
Augusta National history. Both articles refer to this locket as the "gold
medallion" or "gold piece":
