Item Description
1.75 dia. w/ribbon and brass chain holding black plastic suspended boxing gloves. Muchinsky believed this rare button matches one showing Johansson's opponent Floyd Patterson issued for their second fight in 1960, but allows it is possibly from third fight in 1961. Much rarer than the Johansson 1.25" dia. portrait button. Rare and the only example known to us. NM. Paul Muchinsky Collection; book photo example #179.
