Gene Sarazen’s personally-owned hinged silver case, measuring 3.5 x 3 x 1, featuring an impressive raised golf bag full of clubs on the cover, hand-engraved in a lovely artistic script on either side of the bag, “1932” and “Gene Sarazen.” Nicely displayed in a 7.5 x 5.5 x 2.5 shadowbox. In very fine condition. This gorgeous silverbox is particularly noteworthy as the hand-engraved year, “1932,” was one of the greatest of Sarazen’s career—he won both the Open Championship and US Open, and was named Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year. At the Open Championship, he debuted one of modern golf’s premier innovations—the sand wedge.
