1956 Masters Player Pin

It is hard to forget the 1956 Masters, a tournament at which Jack Burke Jr. held off then-amateur Ken Venturi by one shot to win the Green Jacket. It was also the last time the tournament was played without a 36-hole cut and the first time that CBS televised the third & fourth rounds.  Offered here is an authentic Player Pin from that tournament.  The pin belonged to Charles Kunkle, who is famous (or infamous!) for shooting 95 in the 1956 Masters, the highest round by a competitor.
