1937 Bobby Jones Trophy Championship at Catalina CC Trophy Presented by P.K. Wrigley
Common boxes for advanced collectors to check when assessing a possible acquisition are visual appeal and the likeness of the great amateur golfer Bobby Jones. Those individuals will give consideration to the trophy that lies in this lot, presented by Chicago Gum industry Tycoon P.K. Wrigley's over eight decades ago. 'Catalina Country Club - Bobby Jones Trophy Championship - 1937' is carefully engraved on the ornate front nameplate topped with a detailed sky blue and ruby red Club emblem. With no expenses spared, a matching nameplate pulled back curtains contains 'Sponsored by P.K. Wrigley' in capital letters. With perfectly parted hair down the middle, this post-swing Bobby Jones sculpture is nicely offset by the light wood plinth it is standing on. Wrigley was heavily involved in the world of sport, owner of the hometown Chicago Cubs, a franchise that still plays at the historic 'Wrigley Field.' The Wrigley family established the 'Catalina Island Conservancy' five years prior to P.K.'s passing in 1972, donating a large plot of land that they owned near Los Angeles. This centerpiece is a worthy addition to any golf collection, with an extra emphasis for those with a focus on Bobby Jones. 12"
