Item Description
1.75". Phila. Badge Co. Spring pin holds ribbon with pair of plastic boxing gloves on a chain. Walcott competed professionally from 1930-53. He held the world heavyweight title from 1951 to 1952, and broke the record for the oldest man to win the title, at the age of 37 (later broken by Foreman at 45). Despite holding the world heavyweight title for a relatively short period of time, Walcott was regarded among the best heavyweights in the world during the 1940s and 1950s. Exc. Paul Muchinsky Collection Book Example.
