I have been working on upgrading my 1932 Lake Placid Olympic Winter Games exhibit for the upcoming AICO (Association Internationale de Collecteurs Olympiques) WEB OLYMPIC SHOW 2021, (AIWOS 2021), a virtual exhibition that will take place from 23 JULY through 3 OCTOBER and will be displayed online at
www.aicolympic.org/aiwos2021.I decided to go through all my material to see what kind of duplicates I might have. I found a few items that were duplicated that I had forgotten I had purchased over the last couple of decades. But the exciting discovery was a John White PHOTOGRAPHIC FDC showing a bobsled coming down the track in Lake Placid. I have written about these photographic FDC many times over the past few years for different publications.
However, I was surprised to discover that the two bobsled FDCs were actually two different photographs! I don't think that anyone has made his discovery in the almost 90 years since the stamps were issued. Here are the two FDCs. They will make a wonderful addition to my 8 frames of FDCs.
