Rare Vintage 1984 Los Angeles Olympics Banner, 46. 5 " X 22 "
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:30388057 |
Description:
This is an official banner for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. It measures 46.5" x 22". It is made out of a nylon/rayon type material and the Olympics' unique bright pastel "Post-Modern" colors are crisply silk-screened on top of the fabric. I am aware of three sizes for this banner. This is the smaller one.
I went to the L.A. Olympics and one day I stopped at the manufacturer's warehouse in L.A. to buy this banner. I don't remembe...r ever having displayed it, but it has small tack holes in the 4 corners, so I must have displayed it for a short time. But it has essentially been rolled up in a tube in my closet for the past 35 years. The colors are as brilliant as when it was manufactured. The condition is excellent. There is one minor smear of the silk screen color to the right of the "E" in Welcome (see 4th photo). The minor creases are common in this type of fabric and could probably be reduced by covering the back with another fabric such as cotton or paper and pressing it with a warm iron. Unlike Olympic pins, etc., only a few banners come up for sale over time. This is a superior collectible for Olympics or Los Angeles aficionados.
