The 1928 Summer Olympics were hosted in Amsterdam and had the participation of over 2,800 athletes from 46 nations. Some Olympic traditions that are still practiced today began this year, including the Opening Ceremony’s Parade of Nations being led by Greece to pay tribute to the origins of the Olympic games. Another tradition that debuted at the 1928 games was the lighting of a fire to symbolize friendship and unity, a movement inspired by the ancient Greek Olympic games.

Silver 1928 Amsterdam Olympics Medal. Sold for Nearly $15,000.
Nate D. Sanders Auctions has sold the following Olympic memorabilia:
Olympic relay torch used in the 1968 Winter Games in Grenoble, France, one of only 33 produced by the Societe Technique d’Equipement et de Fournitures Industrielle (STEFI), the scarcest of all Olympic torches. The Torch Relay tradition began in 1928, and transports a spark – ignited by the sun using a parabolic mirror, from the parent flame in Olympia, Greece to the host city in time for the Opening Ceremonies. In this case, the flame was carried by over 5,000 torchbearers, ending at Grenoble on 6 February 1968 to launch the Games. Copper plate torch features a crenellated design at top, resembling the Olympic flame and also serving as its wind shield. The long handle segues to the top portion that holds the burner, distinguished by a silver plate featuring the official emblem of the Games designed by Roger Excoffonan. Torch measures 30” long and 3.75” wide at top. Burning apparatus is no longer present, as is often the case, and torch has only one silver plate rather than three. Small dent at bottom of handle. Remnants of soot from its use during the Games. One of the finest Olympic torches offered for sale, part of a select group of 33, all individually manufactured before mass production of Olympic torches became standard. Displays beautifully. Sold for $178,500.
