item # OL - 15 Offered for sale is a RARE ORIGINAL THIRD REICH PORCELAIN FACKELTRÄGER (TORCH-BEARER) A SELDOM SEEN SOUVENIR OF THE 1936 OLYMPIC GAMES IN HITLERS BERLIN! COMES WITH THE OFTEN MISSING "TORCH" THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE LIT! The 270mm (10-5/8 inch) tall statue is made out of fine white porcelain, the base bears the Olympic Rings and in his right hand the runner holds the torch that is carried into the stadium to light up the Olympic Flame. The torch of this excellent item can be lit, too! The small lid can be removed and lamp oil can be poured into his hollow arm. We did not put any oil in and we did not light up the wick. A fantastic souvenir from the 1936 Olympic Games, a lot less times offered than the also rare porcelain Olympic Bell! The original 1936 Olympia photo documentation (see photo left) is included in the sale.
The statue comes together with a special edition issue of the heavily illustrated periodical "Die Woche" with very interesting photo reports from the Olympic Games in Berlin (see below).
