Olympic Games/ Summer, 1928-32-36/ Amsterdam-Los Angeles-Berlin/ Hostin/ Bertoni, Milano/ Weightlifting/ St Etienne. Three black wallets from Bertoni, Milan (with gold rings) containing the IOC Winners Pin. Here we have an exceptional set, with the triple mention "Louis Hostin"... a) the "Louis Hostin, argent 1928" pouch, with its prestige holder numbered 10,845, the V-shaped silver spray, with the rings surmounting the year 1928, at the top: "Silver, Games of the Ixè Olympiad 1928" (17x17), transparent plastic pouch (53x53), the folded black pouch with its three flaps and snap fastener (Piocchi, Italy) (70x65); b) ditto, but marked Louis Hostin, 1932, gold. Gold inner spray, vintage 1932, Olympic mentions, number 10121, same measurements; c) idem, but mention Louis Hostin, 1936, gold. Gold inner spray, vintage 1936, number 10,588. Olympic insignia, Games of the Xith Olympiad, Gold, same measurements. This modest little badge attests to the rank of Olympic champion or vice-champion. The elite of the elite. And the modest weightlifter from Saint-Etienne Louis Hostin (1908-1998) is happily triple-recognized here. Unique. Museum pieces.
