Stockholm Olympics 1912 NY Welcome Badge

Very nice and artistically created gold-gilted New York welcome badge for athletes returning from the 1912 ‘Jim Thorpe’ Summer Olympics in Stockholm. Scarce gold-plated pin, manufactured by Dieges & Clust of New York, measures approximately 1.25 x 1.75, with the front featuring a raised image of a woman holding laurels in her hand, and the words, “New York’s Greeting to Olympic Team 1912,” with the maker’s name stamped on the reverse. Badge retains its original American flag-style silk ribbon, but is missing the crossbar and pin. Condition is extra fine. Scarce and highly sought-after.
