Z on Aug 23, 2013Wow Revi, what a neat store to go with a great find. I'd have kept it too and put it on my hubby's desk who is golfing right now. I hope you can find out who won it. Even if it wasn't one of the big names in gold it would still be fun to know.Helpful Reply

Yahooserious on Aug 23, 2013I'd try to track RGC....... Probably in a big city where there were people who still had money to do these things. Dallas, Ft. Worth, Houston, maybe San Antonio.Helpful Reply

Starla Swanson on Aug 23, 2013RGC could stand for one of a hundred or more golf courses around the world. Literally. The initials are rather art deco in style, which does not help track it down, and may have easily been from somewhere along the east coast. Or even California. It's owner was affluent, so travel was not an issue. It could even be abroad. What is on the bottom of the piece? Is there a hallmark as to the maker? That would be a place to start. You may also find a hallmark in another area of the piece. It would be an amazing piece for the Antiques Road Show. They have the experts on site.Helpful Reply

Starla Swanson on Aug 23, 2013RGC may also NOT be the initials of the golf course. It could stand for the name of a large company that held an event. The emblem around the RGC may give you a clue. Crossed irons with a rose on the top is a symbol for Roseville Golf Course. Get the idea?Helpful Reply

Revi on Aug 23, 2013Antiques Road Show...now there's a thought! Yes, the recipient of this trophy was definitely someone who led a life of privilege. The trophy was made in Los Angeles, CA, but that wouldn't necessarily mean the golf club was there - it was not a "one of a kind" piece. I have seen at least one more.Helpful Reply
