1933 Ryder Cup photo

[bijoem]

I just posted this over on the golf side - - but I thought, especially with the 'all sport' votes for memorabilia - that maybe some would enjoy this here.


A recent pickup that just arrived.

One of my favorite events in golf is the Ryder Cup. Here is a great large photo (12" x 16") of one of the earliest American Ryder Cup teams (along with some from Britain). 1933 was the fourth ever Ryder Cup - - and here is the photo (signed by Gene Sarazen).....


description and scan from the auction house:

Runyan, Craig Wood, Ed Dudley, Johnny Farrell, Olin Dutra, Leo Diegel,
Denny Shute. Also accompanying the team photo is Price Edward. This large

That is a great photo and rare in that large format. The clarity looks really good too. Was there any info on where the photo originated?

sorry such a late reply.
I do not know where the photo originated.

The recent auction did not really give that much info in the description.

A LOA came with the photo (because of the Sarazen autograph) - and it seems this photo was also auctioned off in a September 2009 Clean Sweep auction.
