Congrats Michael. That's one heck of a find. It's amazing what pops up when doing non-traditional searches or even misspelled searches.

Picked up these for my 1969 Cubs and 1955 Dodger memorabilia room displays.

Thank you both. I look for photos and autographs in all Olympic sports. That increases the number of words I can use for random searches. The results when I use certain words can be amusing. When I search 'fencing' in photos I get hundreds of results where most of the photos are people standing against a fence or a house with a picket fence. All equestrians and most shooting competitors prior to WWII were military. Additionally, many Olympians in the well known sports went to college. This helps when searching in the military and paper categories under collectibles.
