Exceedingly rare golden 1976 Montreal Olympics torch, comprised of gold-plated aluminum, measuring 26″ in length and 3″ at its widest point, designed by Georges Huel and Michel Daillaire. Unlike its official relay-used variant, which featured a red handle, white logo, and a black flame ‘basket,’ this regal presentation example is entirely gilt-coated from top to bottom, with the Montreal Games emblem engraved just above the handle grip section. The torch bears light scattered scuffs, and the lower handle section features wear and two small nicks. This glorious Montreal Olympic torch was made in a very limited quantity – believed to be 20 – and was presented exclusively to high-profile dignitaries who attended the Games of the XXI Olympiad.
