Canceled 1940 Olympics - Rarely-Seen Set of 4 Fundraising Labels

In preparation for the 1940 Olympics, the American Olympic Committee sold these stamp-like labels to raise funds to send American athletes to the games planned for St. Moritz (winter) and Helsinki (summer). Engraved and printed by the American Banknote Company, they picture the final 1500-meter race at 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. With the outbreak of World War II, the Olympics were canceled, making this set an extraordinary artifact in Olympic history! (United States 1940 Olympics labels)
