The Brandenburg Gate in Berlin is pictured on this enamel pinback made for the 1936 Olympics. The 1 1/4 inch pin is a great reminder of the games that featured Jesse Owens, winning four gold medals and challenging the Aryan superiority theory of Adolf Hitler. This was an event of equal parts athletics and political intrigue. If you were going to own one Olympics medal this has to be the one. Excellent condition.
