Sam Snead's Personal Custom Mallory Straw Hat - Size 7 1/8 - Navy/Cream/Grey
Examine photos of Sam Snead in his 30's winning a 1940's PGA Championship, and Snead in his 90's as an elderly business man in the 2000's and you will find very few constants over the ages with the exception of his signature panama straw hat. It was there on his head in competition over almost all of his record setting 82 professional wins, and it was there in later life as he traveled in suit to his Hall of Fame inductions. The playing days photo of Sam, in hat, is well captured on the cover of Sports Illustrated issues of June 11, 1956 and Dec 5, 1960. This lot offers the winning bidder the chance to own that component of the "Snead Fashion Look". This 7 1/8" size haberdashery of the 'Slammer' is an early career model with inside tag 'Mallory'. With a nod to our rightfully providence sensitive environment it gives us great pleasure to offer that this item comes with a letter of provenance to the winning bidder. Use is present, please view photos for additional inspection. A signed letter of provenance from Ann Still Comes with this lot.
