Assortment of 11 patches from the collection of longtime International Olympic Committee member James Worrall. The patches range in size from 2.25 x 3 to 16 x 8 and were removed from Worrall’s suit or attire following the article’s respective event or ceremony; one remains affixed to its original fabric swatch. Dating between 1934 and 1976, the patches represent IOC events, the British Empire Games of 1934, the Canadian Olympic Team of 1960, and more. Most notable are three gold-wire bullion patches from Worrall’s tenure with the Canadian Olympic Committee. In overall very good to fine condition.
From the estate of James Worrall.
