In 1988 the International Winter Olympics were held in Calgary, Canada. Swarovski Canada officially produced & licensed 2 Swarovski crystal plaques to commemorate the event.
The 'Heidy & Howdy Mascots' Plaque, product number 9503 M2570 , was issued featuring the bears engraved on the plaque hoisting the Canadian flag. The plaque is engraved with Calgary, 1988, Winter Olympic Games, in English and French. There is no logo on the crystal; however, the original box also pictures the bears hoisting the Canadian flag; this is very unusual.
