Wool warm-up suit worn by Ben Eastman silver medalist in the 400m at the 1932 Olympics. He is shown wearing it on one of the Reemstma 'cards'. This was given to me by his granddaughter

Studio portraits of William Wheatley member of the 1936 U.S. Olympic basketball team. Due to the rules only half the team played in each game. He played in the gold medal game and was the member of the team who mounted the podium to receive the gold medal and laurel wreath. These were part of a 10 pound box of papers sold by his son-in-law.
