1932 U.S. Amateur Contestant Badge

        Very early Major Championship contestant's badges are virtually impossible to come by. In this auction, we are very fortunate to offer pieces of a stunning collection of these great pieces of memorabilia - some of which have never been offered for sale to the public.

        This very badge was issued to one of the 150 or so golfers that participated in the 1932 US Amateur, which was won by Ross "Sandy" Somerville at Baltimore Country Club. Since only about 150 of these badges existed 78 years ago, surely only a handful still remain. And of the handful that still exist, it's probably safe to say that this particular badge must the finest example in existence.
