1. Australian Melbourne 1956 Olympic Games Hurdling Tin Badge

Australian Melbourne 1956 Olympic Games Hurdling Tin Badge. A good example of an extremely hard to find badge showing some wear and tear with a few chips, scratches and minor pitting from natural oxidation, please view images.
Size: 4 x 2.5 cm

2. White Badge with Olympic Logo Melbourne 1956
A cloth badge, with a light blue field and white border. Upon the light blue field is the 1956 Melbourne Olympics logo, featuring a flaming torch planted on the location of Melbourne on a map of Australia. The Olympic rings feature in front of the flame. Inscription within surrounding wreath filled border, reads: 'XVITH OLYMPIAD/MELBOURNE 1956'.
Size: 7 x 5 cm

The 1956 Summer Olympics, officially the Games of the XVI Olympiad and officially branded as Melbourne 1956, were an international multi-sport event held in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, from 22 November to 8 December 1956, with the exception of the equestrian events, which were held in Stockholm, Sweden, in June 1956.
These Games were the first to be staged in the Southern Hemisphere and Oceania, as well as the first to be held outside Europe and North America. Melbourne is the most southerly city ever to host the Olympics. Due to the Southern Hemisphere's seasons being different from those in the Northern Hemisphere, the 1956 Games did not take place at the usual time of year, because of the need to hold the events during the warmer weather of the host's spring/summer (which corresponds to the Northern Hemisphere's autumn/winter), resulting in the only summer games ever to be held in November and December. Australia hosted the Games for a second time in 2000 in Sydney, New South Wales, and will host them again in 2032 in Brisbane, Queensland.
