This
is an original Augusta National Golf Club Member's Green Jacket. Even better, this jacket
is new to the collector market. It is being consigned directly from the
family whose relative owned the jacket in the 1970s while he was an Augusta National
member.
The
number of original Green Jackets that have been able to leave the
premises of Augusta National Golf Club is a finite number. The few that
have become available for public auction are no doubt tucked away in
private collections. This Green Jacket, however, has never seen the
light of day. It has remained part of the late Augusta National member's
possessions since he first took it home almost a half century ago.
The jacket size is a 42 regular. Manufacturer's date is 1972. Excellent condition.
