Team Athletes badge issued for the 1932 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Bronze, 38 mm x 63 mm, 13 gm, manufactured by Whitehead & Haug of Newark. The medal features the Olympics rings over shield and laurel branch, and is engraved “Xth Olympiad Los Angeles,” with number below, “488.” Suspended below the badge is a small orange ribbon with gold lettering, “Team Athletics.” Badges with bronze medallions were issued to team managers, athletes and attendants, and to the press. Each athlete badge was serially numbered and bore a short piece of colored ribbon, which indicated the sport in which the athlete was a competitor. These badges were good for admission to the athlete sections in the Olympic Stadium, the Olympic Village, and to the training quarters at the apropos stadium.
