Offered here are Bill Campbell's original Eagle Crystal Goblet from recording an eagle on the 13th hole during the 1958 Masters Tournament. 6 1/2".

Quite amazingly, this piece of Masters crystal is engraved "Hogan-Nelson Day." This was the day (April 2, 1958) when both the Hogan Bridge and Nelson Bridge at Augusta National were dedicated. Bobby Jones said that day: "We've tried to dedicate these bridges to two men who have meant as much to this tournament as any two men ever have."

Before seeing this piece, we did not know that Augusta National custom engraved the crystal for this day. We're not sure how many eagles were recorded on April 2, 1958, but we presume that few, if any, of these special pieces of Masters Crystal still exist.
