Merion Golf Club East Course 1950’s-60’s Ice Bucket
This is a handmade fiberglass ice bucket with a wooden lid and base, circa 1950’s-60’s and it represents a first for us. The body is constructed from a cream-colored textured fiberglass material, typical of the mid-20th-century production from The Bacova Guild. The exterior is decorated with printed graphics celebrating the Merion Golf Club's East Course, including a course layout map, a sketch of the clubhouse, and the text Merion Golf Club East Course 1912. The reverse side features a scroll-form scorecard listing the yardage and par for all 18 holes, topped by the club's shield crest showing a golf bag and flag. The bucket is finished with a dark wood-grain patterned rim at the top and bottom, a solid wood lid with a turned wooden knob finial, and a brown leather swing handle secured with metal nut-and-bolt hardware. The interior contains a yellow plastic liner with some tearing inside. The underside of the bucket bears a black printed stamp in a centered rectangular format reading HANDMADE ORIGINAL By THE BACOVA GUILD Bacova, Va. 13.5” High x 10.5” Wide.
