Bobby Jones' Wife's Personal 1964 Augusta National Members' Gift

            Augusta National famously provides a gift to its esteemed members each year. For obvious reasons, these gifts are not often sold or given away by its members. Presented here is one of the most significant Augusta National Members' Gift ever offered to the public.  This is not just any members' gift - this 1964 Augusta National Manicure Set was produced for, and owned by, the wife of the most famous Augusta National Golf Club member of them all - Bobby Jones.  This gift was given to the couple hundred members of Augusta National in 1964 by Augusta National Chairman Clifford Roberts as a memento for that year's Masters Tournament. In 1964, Clifford Roberts gave a Bridge Set to the men, and a Manicure Set to the wives. This gift was given to Bobby Jones' wife, Mary Malone Jones, whose initials are included on the cover of this great Manicure Set. The Manicure Set is in good condition, and contains many of the original pieces.
