1939 Masters Tournament

Clubhouse Badge belonging

to Caroline Berckmans

        Offered here is an original clubhouse badge from the 1939 Masters Tournament. Original badges from Masters Tournaments in the 1930's are impossibly rare, as few examples are known to exist.

        But this isn't just any ticket from the 1939 Masters, this is a high grade clubhouse badge that was issued to Caroline Berkmans, whose family famously sold its Fruitland Nursery property to Augusta National, including the family manor which became Augusta National's famed clubhouse.

        This 2 1/2" diameter 1939 Masters Tournament badge will surely become a cornerstone piece in a prominent Masters Tournament collection, as it's worthy of a place in a museum.
