Two uncommon silk tickets issued for the Garmisch 1936 Winter Olympics: a pin-style rectangular 1.5″ x 2.25″ skiing ticket featuring the color logo of the 4th Winter Olympiad above the text "Abfahrtslauf, fur, Damen u Herren" (Downhill skiing for Ladies and Gentlemen), with golden bar to upper portion, engraved: "IV. Olymp. Winterspiele 1936, Garmisch-Partenkirchen"; and a pin-style triangular 1.75″ x 2.5″ bobsled ticket featuring the Olympic rings and "BOB," with golden bar to upper portion, engraved: "IV. Olymp. Winterspiele 1936, Garmisch-Partenkirchen." In very good to fine condition, with light soiling, a diagonal crease, and a bit of rust to the metal. This was the only Olympic Games in which tickets were made of silk.
