1923 US Open Contestants Badge
(Bobby Jones' 1st Major)

Offered here is without question one of the finest Contestant Pins to ever grace the auction block - one of the only-known contestant badges from Bobby Jones' first Major Championship victory. Even more impressive, the badge is in near mint condition and still contains its original celluloid Player #95 tag.

Bobby Jones famously won his first Major at the 1923 US Open by defeating Bobby Cruickshank in a playoff. Few pieces of memorabilia are known to still exist from that iconic tournament.
