1994 Lillehammer Silver Olympics Medal. Sold for Nearly $30,000.
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.
Scarce Lillehammer Olympic Torch Used in the Relay for the 1994 Games
One of the rarest Olympic torches, the Lillehammer torch used in the relay leading up to the 1994 games, which traveled from Olympia, Greece to Lillehammer, Norway, even extending up into the Arctic Circle. The Lillehammer torch is also the longest of all Olympic torches, measuring 60″, called the “Noble” by its designers for its long, regal appearance, made to appear harmonious with its torchbearer.
The Lillehammer torch was designed by Andre Steenbuch Marandon and Paal Christian Kahrs, whose inclusion of birchwood in the design pays homage to Norway’s birchwood forests, and the aluminum and copper elements symbolizing Norway’s modernity. Manufactured by Paal J. Kahrs Arkitekter AS. Polished aluminum blade has the Lillehammer Olympic emblem at base, with torch designer and manufacturer printed in red at base of birchwood handle. The number 8 also appears in black on bottom of handle. Torch lacks copper burner, otherwise very good condition, with a small crack in the birchwood at the bottom of the handle, and singeing to wood near top as expected. Scarce. Sold for $27,000.
