An exact reproduction
of the Olympic Torch
of 1896, the first
modern age Olympic
Games, which were
held in Athens. Back
in 1896, every night
after a day of Games
was completed, there
were torch-light
processions, bands
played the different
national hymns, and
the students of the
university got up
ovations under the
windows of the
foreign athletic
crews, and harangued
them in the noble
tongue of
Demosthenes. The next
day, after the
opening ceremonies
before the King and
Queen, the taking of
the Olympic oath, and
the lighting of this
Olympic torch, the
Games commenced...
Made of solid bronze
in Greece. A rare
collector's item at a
unique price.
