Fabulous and rare torch run at the Centennial Anniversary to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Olympic Games. Chrome art deco style torch is a brilliant look. Wood handle at bottom and center figural impression of the Olympic rings in gold. It is engraved in Hellenic style lettering with the names of all of the games from Athens through Berlin all the way to Atlanta. Far more difficult to find than many of the other modern torches, and more beautiful than just about any of them. Comes with the original wick top to light the torch, but thankfully it has never been used. 21.5" long and NRMT.
