Harry Vardon Signed 1936 Letter on 'H. Vardon Golf Club & Ball Maker' Letterhead - Framed
Golfing great Harry Vardon leaves his signature on the bottom portion of his club and ball manufacturer company letterhead after an extensive handwritten letter. 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. Vardon went on to publish golf instructional books. The flowing signature was inked in 1936 and would grade a 9/10 with great strength on the letterhead that titles Harry Vardon as a golf equipment company owner. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their letter of authentication comes with this lot.
