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.

1952 olympics
Michael B - that's a wonderful artifact. I would live to see the rest of your collection.
Cheers

Harry Wright letter
I am posting the Harry Wright letter in Memorabilia due to its historical content and as a compliment to the Mcvey photo posted above.
In addition to dealing with details of the death of his father, it is on Boston Base Ball stationary, is addressed to the Secretary of St George’s cricket club which was so instrumental in George and Harry’s development, and mentions George. I have been trying to get at least one original photo and autograph document with content for Chadwick, Spalding and George and Harry. Harry was the one I was missing.

Great letter!!
Just curious - did you post your photos from an iphone? Seems those always show up small. I haven't been able to figure out how to get them any larger myself. Seems the only way is to post from a computer. Rob M
