c.1920's Jolly Golfer 10pc Set of Velvety Satin-Finish Opaque Rose Pink Glass by Tony Sarg
"As seen on tv", well not quite, but featured in a 1929 trade catalog was the delicate "satin-finish opaque" glass golfing caricature set that went by the name 'Jolly Golfer.' It was produced in four different color schemes being perhaps the most elegant, the rose pink hue seen here, along with blue, white, and green. Fragility being one of the 'Jolly Golfer's' defining characteristics, most of the time the depression glass cups are without their tops or hats. Ten pieces in very good condition are presented of the original 14 (two missing cups/hats) and the original standing 'Jolly Golfer' whiskey decanter tightly grasping his long nose club looks over the four cups with hats. Once the first entry in the 1993 Sporting Antiquities auction catalog with an estimated value for the complete set between $2,400-$2,600, these artist Tony Sarg designed sets simply do not surface anymore. Accompanying this is a cutout of the black and white advertising photo with caption that references the original 1929 trade catalog listing (shown in final lot image). Main figure 11 1/2", minis are 4"
