Bobby Jones Signed 1930 Currier & Ives British Open @ St. Andrews - RARE
Original limited edition lithograph 1930 Bobby Jones signed Currier & Ives print. Titled "Robert Tyre Jones Jr. Winning the British Open Golf Championship". First edition of 999 prints published and copyrighted by Currier & Ives, Inc., 1930. This exceptional piece depicting Bobby Jones sinking the winning putt in the 1927 British Open at St. Andrews carries a full signature from Robert T. Jones Jr. which is spectacular in its self. What takes this highly sought after item to the next level is that the fountain pen signature comes in uninscribed format with nine out of ten of these prints, when autographed by Bobby Jones, coming with a personalization. Print is laid down on framing matte,and is deluxe framed with U.V. protected glass. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature of Bobby Jones, and their letter of authenticity will come with this item. Print measures 16 1/2" x 11 1/2", framed overall size is 28" x 23". This is truly a piece that even the finest of collections would be deemed incomplete without ownership of this prized signed print. The only other time The Golf Auction has had a similar full signature, not personalized example of this item was the Fall of 2014 auction with it finally selling to one of our most knowledgeable collectors for $7,054.
