Theres 14 swimmers and to mention a few names Dawn Frazer Vic, Jan Murphy Nsw, Margueritle Rygrok Nsw, and the list goes on. There all in there original old speedos, standing in a line together. There are several interesting facets about this photograph is that it is in such good condition. The problem that I have is that the actual Summer Olympics for Tokyo XVIII Olympiad were held beginning August 6, 1964. It is possible that this is the team but it was taken later. There is no doubt that this is the team but it was perhaps photographed at a different time. | |

| Appraiser Comments: | Hello, this is Rachael Goldman from New Jersey. Your request for an appraisal has been referred to me for reply. I have closely examined the information you submitted. As noted this is an excellent example of a photograph, original, featuring the Australian Swim Team, who were stars in their own right. The fact remains that this may have been a swim team but the Summer Olympics in Tokyo were held in 1964. The occasion on which this team photograph was taken seem unclear. The condition and historical significance are paramount for the future of this photograph. Keep in mind that the values listed below can vary depending upon how and where marketed, locale, and may vary across different collecting disciplines.
