Old Tom Morris Family Collection

In this auction, we have the extreme privilege of offering items from Old Tom Morris' personal collection that have been passed down in his family since his death in 1908. The offered items are being consigned to Golden Age by an heir of Old Tom Morris, and are being seen publicly for the very first time in this auction. 

Old Tom Morris' Personal Smoking Photo w/ Young Tom's Grave on Reverse

Offered here is an original photograph of Old Tom Morris that was recently discovered while digging through the personal effects of one of Tom Morris' heirs. We are unsure whether this image of Old Tom has ever been previously published, as we can't find any record of it. Affixed to the reverse of this mounted photo is a photograph of Young Tom Morris' grave. 

The entire piece measures 8 1/2" x 6 1/2", and the smaller Young Tom grave photo measures 5 1/2" x 6 5/8".
