PARIS, 2ndOLYMPIC GAMES, 1900

The 1900 Paris Olympic Games were held in conjunction with the World's Exposition. They played only a minor role. There were athletes who didn't know that the events they participated in were Olympic Games events. Few items relate directly to the Games. For this reason, we are also offering items commemorating the World's Exposition.
