Olympic games - Berlin 1936 (Olympische Sommerspiele 1936) - A collection of medals and mementos for Stourbridge born Canadian Olympic team member Percy Wyer (1884 - 1965), comprising a suite of 1936 Olympiad awards to include an enamelled stick pin, propelling pencil and necklace, each with five interlinked Olympic rings in blue, yellow, black, green and red enamel, the pencil engraved Olympiade 1936 and stamped D.R.G.M., various other medals and a presentation tray, two 1928 Olympiade Amsterdam programmes No 23 and 24, a pair of wooden clogs signed by team members, a British Empire Games programme, a dinner invitation signed by British Commonwealth Athletes to include Harold Webster, Donald Robertson, George Bailey Harold Abrahams, Wally Beavers etc. postcards from Berlin, contemporary to the Olympiad and other related correspondence. Notes: Percival ''Percy'' Wyer was born in Lye, Stourbridge in 1884. He made his first major appearance for Canada at the age of 41, when he ran in the 1925 Buffalo Marathon coming fifth, although he had been competing and winning at smaller tournaments as early as 1913. He attended his first Summer Olympic Games in 1928, finishing 45th in a field of 69 before setting a personal best at the 1930 British Empire Games, ending in fourth place. He also appeared at the 1934 British Empire Games, finishing fifth in the marathon. After a victory at the 1935 Cleveland Marathon and third place at the 1935 Valley Forge-to-Philadelphia Marathon, Wyer made his final major appearance at the 1936 Summer Olympics. Although he only finished 30th out of 56 entrants, he did earn the title of oldest Olympic track and field competitor by running at the age of 53. Shortly afterwards he returned to Great Britain, where he died in June 1965.
