Conn Findlay was an American Olympic rower and sailor. He won four Olympic medals in those two sports, including two golds in coxed pair. He was also part of the America’s cup sailing crews that one in 1974 and 1977. The bag is adorned with a ‘CON FINDLEY’ nameplate and ‘ROWING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP LUCERNE, SWITZERLAND McGETTIGAN’S TRAVEL PHILADELPHIA’ screened in white. The green polo is manufactured by ‘LANDS’END’, is a size (XL) and has ‘12 US 26 COURAGEOUS’ sewn in white on the left breast. Both white Olympic tank style jerseys have Olympic patches on the front. These garments are properly marked, presented to us as player-worn/used and in our opinion show appropriate wear.
