Merion Golf Club
Course-Used Wicker Basket Standard

Golf flags are among the most sought-after modern golf collectibles, but the Holy Grail of golf flags isn't really a golf flag at all - it's the Merion Wicker Basket "Standard". Even before Green Jacket Auctions was officially formed in 2006, we had a standing offer of $5000 to anyone who could find us one of the famed Merion Wicker Baskets. Even with multiple members of Merion Golf Club among our customers, we were constantly told that obtaining a Merion Wicker Basket for our auction was impossible. Well, to us, that just sounded like a challenge.

Due to our relentless research and pursuit of this coveted item, we are quite certain that this is the only original Merion Wicker Basket Standard that has ever been offered publicly for sale.

This original Merion Wicker Basket on original flagstick measures a whopping 7 1/2' feet tall, and the basket itself measures 14 inches. We will arrange shipping, but keep in mind that it could be costly depending on where the winning bidder lives.
