Along with collecting original photos, transparencies and negatives of American Olympians I also try to acquire items related to official Olympic photographers. This has included vests, bibs, credentials, tickets and other related items. I was thrilled to add this to my collection. This is a photographers armband from the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo, Norway. The person who had it, a Norwegian, remembered that I collected such items and purchased it at an auction. The elastic straps on the back are still in good condition. The word I got was that there may be only one other one.
