Scarce 1933 St. Andrews
Open Championship Program/Booklet
Until we learned about this consignment, this is a piece that we didn't even
know existed. Offered here - for possibly the first time ever - is an original
program/booklet from the 1933 Open Championship at St. Andrews. We don't know
exactly what this piece is - as it appears to be far more impressive than the
boring, early Open Championship Programs. Whoever, or whatever, produced this
booklet spared no expense, as it is extremely impressive for something produced
in 1933.
This striking booklet is one of the
only known pieces of memorabilia from Denny Shute's victory at the 1933 Open
Championship at St. Andrews. Everything about this 62 page book is exceptional -
especially the 1930's St. Andrews advertisements that fill the pages, including
for golf clubs from the Auchterlonies and Robert Simpson, as well as ads to play
the Old Course at St. Andrews.
