1932, Los Angeles Olympics Ticket Specimens, an exquisite presentation of 81 different tickets (of 82), each with printed "Specimen" in red and two security hole punches, starting with an Official Pass, a Press Pass, and two different Olympic Stadium Passes good for all games in the Stadium (a whopping $22!), followed by tickets for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, along with day- or time-specific tickets (the latter for morning, afternoon or evening matches) for each event: Track & Field, Field Hockey, American Football (who knew?), Lacrosse, Gymnastics, Equestrian Sports, Swimming, Boxing, Weightlifting, Wrestling, and Rowing; event-specific tickets with rouletted "Gate Check" counterfoil still attached and with location of the event printed on reverse; also included is the original book from which the tickets were removed, noted on spine "Specimen Tickets/Xth. Olympiad/Los Angeles 1932" and presented to J.G. Newcomb; backs with evidence of glue used to affix them to the album pages, a couple with a small toned spot, but a splendid holding of exquisite engravings, and unlikely to be seen again anytime soon; a must-have for the Olympics enthusiast, especially as so little ephemera exists from these games, held in the depths of the Great Depression. Shipping charges apply - weight 5.2 lbs. (PDF for this Lot) (Image)
