1931 Country Club of Detroit Comm. Fund Silver Plated Second Prize Teapot Trophy
Arnie won on a lot of courses during his long reign on top, but one could argue his triumph at the course sitting just outside the Motor City was his most significant victory. It was 1954 and Palmer was a successful paint salesman, enjoying the game of golf as a secondary means of entertainment. His US Amateur win at the Country Club of Detroit changed golf history forever. Twenty-three years prior to that event was this teapot trophy's unveil. This runner-up award was presented for the Club's 1931 tournament. It is accented by a threaded handle, offsetting the light silver plated coloring. Presentation value is high for this piece, with club history on its side. The golf course laid out by the design firm of Smith Hinchman & Grylls would later be redesigned by Robert Trent Jones Sr and eventually Tom Doak. 6 1/2" x 6"
