Gene Sarazen's Personal

1977 Hall of Fame Induction Presentation Gift

The Gene Sarazen Estate

        We are very privileged to have the opportunity to auction off numerous items from the Gene Sarazen Estate. Each of these items comes from the personal collection of the late Gene Sarazen. This is the first time that any of the items have been offered for sale.

        Offered here is a truly exceptional piece of Gene Sarazen and Hall of Fame memorabilia. 13 golfers were inducted into the Inaugural World Golf Hall of Fame class in 1977. Each of those golfers (or their family members) were awarded a spectacular presentation piece, which measures 10" x 13" and contains silver medallions for each inductee - Patty Berg, Walter Hagen, Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones, Bryon Nelson, Jack Nicklaus, Francis Ouimet, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead, Harry Vardon, and Babe Zaharias.

        This is Gene Sarazen's personal Hall of Fame induction presentation piece. With only 13 original examples in existence, in all likelihood you will never see one of these ever offered again. This comes from Mr. Sarazen's personal collection and comes with a letter of provenance from renowned collector Mark Emerson, who is assisting the Sarazen Estate with the proper disposition of Mr. Sarazen's personal items.
