GUEST: I love golf.

I've played since I was a kid.

This locket was given to the architect of the Eisenhower Cabin at Augusta National.

The picture was given by Dwight Eisenhower to all the individuals that donated money for the construction of the cabin.

I bought the locket on an online auction in 2014.

And I believe it was a little over $2,000.

The picture, I really do not remember.

I don't know where I bought it, or honestly, what I paid for it.

APPRAISER: This locket, for golf fans, they'll instantly recognize the map and flag logo.

Augusta National Golf Club was founded in 1931 by the Grand Slam-winning golfer of 1930, Bobby Jones and his partner, Clifford Roberts.

Now, let's fast forward to 1952.

That year, they decided to create and give out lockets in the form of the map and flag logo to the winners.

And it's almost the certificate of membership into the Masters Club.

GUEST: Sure.

APPRAISER: You get one when you win the first time.

GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: This is a locket that was designed after the lockets that were given out to the Masters winners.

Dwight D. Eisenhower started playing golf in the 1920s.

He became infatuated with it.

It was one of his favorite hobbies.

In 1948, he was brought down to Augusta by one of their members.

Bill Robinson loved the club, became a member.

He becomes President Eisenhower in 1952.

They realize that they have to build a special cabin for him so he can have privacy when he goes back to Augusta National Golf Club... GUEST: Sure.

Yeah.

APPRAISER: ...every year-- they hired H. Lowrey Stulb.

GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: And his firm, Stulb and Eve, had six months... GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: ...to build this cabin.

GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: Now it's not a cabin as we can see here.

It's a three-story, seven-room structure.

GUEST: Really nice house.

APPRAISER: With-- and they built a basement for the Secret Service.

GUEST: (chuckling) Okay.

APPRAISER: So because they finished on time and in such, and in such a great manner, Bobby Jones, Clifford Roberts and the Eisenhowers wanted to gift something special... GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: ...to Stulb, the architect, and to the interior designer, Edith Hill.

GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: What could be more special than this locket?

GUEST: Sure.

APPRAISER: So they went to this jeweler, October of '53.

GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: And had lockets made for both of them.

GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: So you see the map and flag logo and then you open it up, and look, there is the cabin and there are the engraved signatures of Mamie and Ike.

GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: And then you open this, and now you see the signatures of Cliff Roberts and Bobby Jones.

And you see the portraits... GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: ...of Mamie and Ike.

GUEST: Right.

APPRAISER: Now we flip it around.

How do we know that it was Mr.

Stulb's?

Well, there's his name engraved right there.

GUEST: Sure.

APPRAISER: The photo, which we did examine, we're not professional authenticators... GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: ...but we believe the signatures to be authentic.

So this photo, I would put an auction estimate of $2,000 to $3,000 on it.

GUEST: Really?

Wow.

(chuckling) That's incredible.

APPRAISER: Now, let's get to the locket because it also has the box, that does add value.

I would put an auction estimate of $25,000 to $30,000.

GUEST: God.

Wow, that's crazy, I can't wait till my kids hear this.

(chuckling) So... They think I'm nuts, so, uh, this will... that is awesome.

Wow.

Okay.

Great.
