Item Description
2-1/8" real photo with city buildings in background. No maker. Silvering intact but long glass crack and .5" long narrow sliver of glass missing. Cello has 1" hairline split along the collet but still lays nearly flat. Photo side is NM. A rare "Souvenir" from controversial fight that Tunney won, but only after being knocked down and then having extra seconds to recover as referee Dave Barry didn't start the count until after ensuring Dempsey went to a neutral corner, a new rule in boxing. Historic and rare. Paul Muchinsky Collection Book Example.
