Horton Smith's Personal Used Spalding Full Size Golf Bag

Presenting work from the paintbrush of the mid-century Spalding Sporting Goods company artist is Horton Smith's personal full size club bag found in this lot. With extreme visual appeal comes matching scarcity. Be it high-end collectors or museum curators, Horton Smith personal golf bags often represent a box yet to be checked. Horton Smith notably won the first Masters Tournament in 1934 and followed it up two years later with yet another victory on the manicured grounds in Augusta, Georgia. The Spalding bag is composed of a vibrant red and navy blue color scheme, the perfect canvas for the white lettering accompanied by a black shadow as if the light was coming from the top right. Brush strokes can be seen on the Spalding patent script font, please refer to the 11th photo in the lot. 'HORTON SMITH' is written below in capital letters, also on the large pocket. This exceptional piece has ornate designs on the navy blue, with signs of usage and a small tear at the bottom of the bag shown in photo 8. Simply put, this bag is ready to be the showcase of the winning bidder's collection.
