Cigaretten Album Olympia 1936 Teil 1-2 (Cigaretts card Album/Book collectors Olympia 1936 Part 1 and 2)

2x 128 p. Richly illustrated. Published by a cigarette manufacturer known for its output of German cigarette cards. Originally, cards would be put in cigarette packs and were thus collected. Then the manufacturer had the idea of putting coupons in the packs which could then be exchanged for cards, thereby enabling collectors to collect mint copies that had not been mangled in the packs. Albums such as this one were very popular and collectors would gather the cards over time and paste them into the book in the appropriate place. You could also purchase them complete. Vol. 1 complete with all 175 medium and large size, color and black & white cards, glossy photos of the 1936 Winter Olympics at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, also has sections on the history of the modern games and preparations for the Summer Games in Berlin. With a large fold out map of the Olympic venue sites in Berlin.
