Harry Vardon Signed Cut with Date 26/11/09
Harry Vardon is a seven-time major championship winner from the early 1900s who left his autograph on a signed cut made available in this lot. The cut is dated '26/11/09' in Vardon's hand with both notation and signature formed in black fountain pen. The signature remains in excellent condition on the 2 3/4" x 1 1/2" cut. Harry Vardon won the Open Championship a record six times (1896, 1898, 1899, 1903, 1911, 1914) and was the 1900 U.S. Open champion. He, James Braid, and John Henry Taylor formed the 'Great Triumvirate' of the three renowned British golfers at the turn of the century. The three Englishmen combined to win the Open Championship 16 out of 21 times spanning from 1894-1914. Vardon, passed away in 1937, long before autographs were the popular pursuit as they are today. Combine this with his legendary status as both player and innovator in the game, and it is easy to see why any signed item of Vardon's that hits the marketplace is highly coveted.
James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this autograph and their certification of its authenticity will come with this lot.
