This
portable wooded viewing seat from the 1930s "United States Golf
Champions" provided solid seating in an instant. The seat's one side
features a hole used as a handle and the impressed facsimile signatures
of Walter Hagen and Olin Dutra while the other side bears a paper piece
picturing the two golf champions in portrait. The seat measures 29 1/2"
tall and 11" wide. Olin Dutra won the US Open in 1934, and the practice
of the day was for the reigning Champ to do an exhibition tour to cash
in on their fame and victory as the prize money for tournaments was not
that great. Who better to pair up with the Walter Hagen, the ultimate
showman. These seats were sold at these exhibitions, with some of the
money going to the champ. The USGA has one of these seats in their
Walter Hagen exhibit. The device which comes with a simple locking
mechanism to ensure stability, exhibits moderate wear and is in
Excellent condition
