2010 Spring Golf Memorabilia Auction featuring Lloyd Mangrum Estate
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 4/11/2010
The Golf Auction will attempt to add further description to this lot from the Mangrum collection due to extreme collector interest. Many advanced collectors of Masters memorabilia believe this to be the second known Masters players gift issued. Please note that the Golf Auction has added two additional photographs from the Mangrum Scrapbook showing the condition of inside pages and the condition of the back cover. The measurements of this gift are approx. 9 x 12 1/2. In 1947, the Augusta National presented each participant in the Masters field with a scrapbook. The cover of this extremely limited collectible is embossed "1947 Masters Tournament", the players name in this case "Lloyd Mangrum" and what had become familar by this time the Masters logo.Inside of this momento is the Player Guest List. Lloyd Mangrum would finish eighth in 1947 against that field. It marked the first of ten straight years that Mangrum would finish in the top ten at the Masters. A letter from Mangrum's heirs will attest to his ownership.
