Muhammad Ali signed torch from the 1996 Olympics Games with the inscription, "AKA Cassius Clay, 9-19-96." Designed by Peter Mastrogiannis, the 1996 Olympic torch is made of aluminum and wood. There are twenty-two distinctive aluminum "reeds" that represent all the cities that have hosted the modern summer games. The decorative ring below the handle lists the twenty-two cities and the ring above features the Atlanta torch logo and the quilt of leaves design. The center wooden handle is nicely finished and displays Ali's signature and inscription. The top half of the torch show signs of use as there is still soot in the area of the flame but some of the decorative elements on the bottom half are loose and show sings of repair. Comes with PSA LOA.
