As the world looks forward to the upcoming Winter Games in PyeongChang, RR Auction is proud to present another installment in our series of Olympic auctions. Beginning with several medals from the 1900 Exposition Universalle in Paris, which played host to the second Modern Olympics, this catalog focuses on the artifacts that tell the story of the Olympic Games over the past 118 years. Offering a host of medals, torches, autographs, and other memorabilia, the variety of material will appeal to both long-time collectors and those new to the genre.
Among the highlights are a magnificent 1904 St. Louis official’s participation medal, a stunning 1924 Paris winner’s vase, a 1936 Garmisch second-place silver medal, a sought-after 1988 Calgary torch, an unissued bronze medal from Sochi 2014, participation medals from nearly every Modern Olympiad, and a torch used at the beginning of the relay for the 2018 Winter Games in PyeongChang.
