Nearly 100 items from Dick Button‘s personal collection will go up for auction on Jan. 25-26 via Brunk Auctions. Button won back-to-back Olympic gold medals in 1948 and 1952 before kicking off a broadcasting career that lasted half a century.
Button told International Figure Skating he is planning on selling his New York City apartment, but has to part with some of his belongings first.
“I went to Stockholm for the world championships and Cecile von Mendelsohn-Bartholdy, the wife of [three-time Olympic gold medalist] Gillis Grafström, offered me her entire collection,” Button said, according to the report.
