Harry Vardon Signed & Handwritten Note on Letterhead

Harry Vardon leaves his signature and note on the bottom portion of the letterhead. 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 note on the letterhead reads as follows:

Dear Sir,

I shall catch the 9-25 tram for Northwood on the Wednesday. 4th. Nov. You have no doubt found me [.....] of land.

Yours Truly
Harry Varden
