1966 British Open Contestant Badge

(Nicklaus victory)

             This is a rare contestant's badge from Jack Nicklaus' victory at the 1966 Open Championship, which was held at famed Muirfield. Only 100 or so badges were produced and issued to players in that historic tournament. Surely even fewer are in collector hands today. This is a remarkable example.
