Original game pieces in the form of a metal pin / badge (with fold-over tab) which was part of a promotion for the Arnold Palmer Dry Cleaning Center franchise in the late 1960s. Each game piece depicted the late Arnold Palmer at one of his PGA Tour victories in the 1950s and 1960s beginning with his first professional win at the 1955 Canadian Open and leading up to and including the 1967 Thunderbird Classic. The exact number of different game pieces is unknown but some victories depicted on these pieces included the Masters, British Open, Western Open, Ryder Cup, etc. (each piece had a matching left half and right half).

Very few of these original Arnold Palmer items still exist. They are each 2" in diameter.
