Bobby Jones “Great Golfers Tee Time” Grand Slam & Major Winners List Metal Tray
A gentleman named George Trevor, then a sportswriter for the New York Sun, famously phrased Jones' four Major triumphs in 1930 as Jones "stormed the impregnable quadrilateral of golf." This event captivated the minds of most 1930's Americans whether they were golf fans or not, offering the opportunity to see one of the grandest moments in the Golden Age of Sport, Bobby Jones' accomplishment as the only player to win the pre-Masters era Grand Slam. With the notoriety across the world of sport and international waters in 1930 it is unsurprising that it would be used in advertising efforts then, as well as decades later. This "Tee Time" metal tray is a unique example of such that we have not seen until now. Decorative scrolls presented announce Bobby Jones' "Golfing Grand Slam" with each of the four major tournaments and champion "R.T. Jones Jr." draped below. Time-period golf scenes present on the top of the tray, with the four original major championships and their respective past winners listed. Inclusion of this item for those with an emphasis on Bobby Jones and or the events of that 1930 season is necessary. The only comparison piece that has come to market was a “Great Golfers Tee Time” Ice Bucket that sold in our 2021 September Auction for a realized price of $668.15. 17 3/4" x 12"
