According to McKeown there really was a true brand with the name Olympic. He
mentions the "Olympic Junior", "Semi-Olympic" (!) from 1937, not with a plastic,
but with a bakelite body, the "Super Olympic" from 1935 (maybe that's where
Olympus based the name of the Supertrip on :) and the "Vest Olympic" from 1938,
using half frame on 127 roll film (!). Maybe inspiring for Pen? :0
