Description: A mini replica of the US Open Tournament trophyMade from plastic, it measures 6 inches tall and 2 inches diameter (very close to Lifesize) History of the Trophy: The original U.S. Open Trophy was handed out to Horace Rawlins when he won the inaugural event in 1895. It was made by the Gorham Company, the best in America at the time and one whose products are now highly sought after by antique dealers. In fact, the trophy was so valuable that when notorious drinker Fred Herd won it in 1898 the USGA forced him to make a cash deposit on the trophy so he wouldn’t be tempted to sell it. Sadly, the original trophy was lost in 1946 when champion Lloyd Mangrum’s home clubhouse, Tam O’Shanter in suburban Chicago, was burnt to the ground. Mangrum had kept the trophy on display at his home club and it was destroyed beyond repair in the blaze. The Current TrophyA new trophy was made in time for the 1947 U.S. Open when Lew Worsham won at St. Louis Country Club. That trophy is still used today. The U.S. Open trophy was commissioned by the USGA and is kept by the champion for one year. The trophy is then handed to the next champion and the previous winner exchanges it for a slightly smaller replica.
