Original Champion Bobby Jones 1928 US Amateur at Brae Burn Country Club Photo Glass Negative 4" x 5"
This glass negative masterfully depicts champion Bobby Jones in action at the 1928 US Amateur at Brae Burn Country Club in which he successfully defended his title. Our last result of the same ilk was an Original Bobby Jones 1930 Glass Negative at the Walker Cup at Sandwich (also 4x5") that sparked a bidding war and achieved an end result of $2,891.10 in December of 2021. Like that one, but two years prior and during an individual win, this offering includes its original manila envelope with the star subject and setting notated. The final image is a digital reference only, showing what the negative would produce if photos were made.
4" x 5"
The 1928 United States Amateur Championship saw Bobby Jones at the most dominant stage of his career. This match play event saw Jones post a staggering double digit triumph in each of his last three matches on the way to the title - quarter-final match (14 and 13 equaling the most decisive win in the events history), the semi-final Friday September 14 (13 and 12), and the route completing final win was a 10 and 9 victory over T. Phillip Perkins, who was a top competitor of the day as the reigning British Amateur Champion. It truly was a record setting Amateur for Jones, claiming his fourth of a record five career U.S.G.A. Amateur Championships.
