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 Cabinet Card Photograph

Offered here is a never before seen photograph of Old Tom Morris. This is a large cabinet card photograph by celebrated St Andrews photographer Thomas Rodger. A taped-on modern note claims that the hat-less Old Tom Morris is holding Young Tom Morris, but this cannot be true. This is instead likely a photo of Tom Morris with one of his daughter Lizzie's children (Old Tom's grandchildren - our best guess). 

6 1/2" x 4 1/4". Early Thomas Rodger cabinet card. Major paper loss to top right. Previously unknown photograph.
