Notes
The Olympic Games Paris 1924 probably paved the way for the commercial exploitation of a sporting event of international scope. This is the birth of derivative products linked to a major sporting event. Indeed, several objects directly or indirectly mentioning the Paris 1924 Olympic Games were marketed. This cup is one of those "Olympic" products sold in chic stores.
