Bobby Jones Signed 1930 Currier & Ives British Open at St. Andrews
While very seldom used to ensure the act of embellishment is not committed, the three word descriptor 'finest example known' is most accurate for this after tirelessly inspecting this 'full-name RTJ Slant' fountain pen signature that Bobby Jones added with perfect positioning to this 1930 Currier & Ives British Open at St. Andrews. Succumbing to light, temperature and storage damage is common for fountain pen signatures nearing the century mark since performed with the chosen writing implement, none of which have led to a single condition detractor on this gem mint signature.
Words can't possibly describe the supreme quality of this flawless fountain tip pen signature, the medium in which Bobby Jones penned it catapults this treasure into the upper stratosphere of Bobby Jones golf antiquities - the iconic limited edition 1930 Currier & Ives color lithograph print. It is the first edition of 999 prints reading "Robert Tyre Jones Jr. Winning the British Open Golf Championship" published and copyrighted by Currier & Ives, Inc., 1930. This exceptional masterpiece comes matted with a depiction of Bobby Jones sinking the winning putt in the 1927 British Open at St. Andrews. It is tastefully matted to not take any attention away from the 20"x 15 1/2" piece. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
