1936 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 1936 US Amateur, which was won by John Fischer at Garden City Golf Club. Since only about 150 of these badges existed almost 75 years ago, surely only a handful still remain. This particular badge remains in remarkable condition.
