New York, 1895. $1000 Specimen 5% Second Mortgage Coupon Bond, Black text with orange border and undertint, Winged shoe in frame at top center. Red specimen overprints, 00000 serial numbers, and POCs. VF condition, ABNC. Club member Thomas Burke took two gold medals (the 100m and 400m) at the inaugural Modern Olympic Games, held in Athens in 1896. His results spurred the New York Athletic Club, entering its fourth decade of existence, to organize greater representation at subsequent Games. At that time, the Club's Captain was Charles Sherrill; he took charge of the US Olympic squad for Paris in 1900, a Games at which the NYAC claimed 22 medals in track and field and swimming. This was the NYAC's first true stamp on the Olympic movement, a stamp that is now indelible. The New York Athletic Club is a private social club and athletic club in New York. Founded in 1868.
