Beige wool sweater issued to Eugene Langkop as part of the awards ceremony at the Squaw Valley 1960 Winter Olympics. The heavy wool sweater features the Olympic rings to chest area, with inner collar retaining the original "100% Virgin Wool by Sargon" tag, as well as a name tag issued to "Gene Langkop," the husband of Dorothy Franey, a speed skater at the Lake Placid 1932 Winter Olympics. In fine condition. At the 1932 Games, Franey placed fifth in the 1500 metres and third in the 1000 metres, but because the women's events were deemed demonstration, she was not awarded with a bronze medal. Women wouldn’t race on ice for Olympic medals until 1960 at Squaw Valley. At those Games, 'Dot' Franey Langkop was a leader in the movement of Olympic alumni to support current United States Olympic athletes.
