1931 U.S. Women's Amateur Contestant Medal

       Presented here is an original contestant's medal from the 1931 U.S. Women's Amateur.  This contestant's medal is in phenomenal condition, and still contains the original celluloid #26 clipped on back, which means it was issued to player #26 in that event.  Helen Hicks was the victory this year. Surely, a finer example of this rare contestant's badge does not likely exist.  The 2004 Edition of GilChrist's Guide to Golf Collectibles values this rare badge at $1,000.
