1949 U.S. Open Contestant Badge - Cary Middlecoff Victory
You find a wide range of varying conditions on these treasured keepsakes. The 1 1/8" x 1 1/4" Contestants badge from the 1949 U.S. Open held at Medinah Country Club offered in this lot is commendably clean and attractive in a NR-MT condition. Scarcity is a true statement on these splendid showpieces with only 159 contestants pins crafted for the 1949 U.S. Open field. Presents with merely a hint of oxidation on the reverse. Hall of Famer Cary Middlecoff won the first of his two U.S. Open titles (1956) with a one stroke triumph over runners-up Sam Snead and Clayton Heafner.
