Jack Dempsey: Treasury Medal
Jack Dempsey, one of sport's all time favorites was once ostracized by the media as a "slacker"
and vehemently booed in his early championship fights for his WW I military exemption. Nothing
hurt him more and when the U.S. became involved in WW II he proudly served in the Coast Guard.
Here is his personally engraved Treasury medal, presented to Jack Dempsey for his aid in the Eight War Loans.

John L Sullivan: Artist's Belt Sketch
Sketch of his Heavyweight Title Belt. When the "Champion of Champions" was in financial straits
in his later life, he would lend his belt to various bars he frequented as a window display to
drum up business. Men seeing the belt in the window would join John L. for drinks as he picked
up the tab for the house.
Dozens of kids would gather outside hoping to spot the Boston Strong Boy
leaving and local artists would sketch the wondrous diamond studded gold belt. |

one of the more popular heavyweight champs. His son Max Baer jr. went on to fame as "Jethro Bodeen" on
the "Beverly Hillbillies" TV show in the 1960's. This painting is one of the few originals of the champ.
P.S. His brother a 6'6" fighter was atop contender for a number of years and appeared as did Max in

"A Day to Remember" Record
This record was given out at Yankee Stadium on Mickey Mantle Day, June 9, 1969, and includes
the photo covered record sleeve. Only 50,000 of these were made. I recall that day at Yankee
Stadium, when thousands of kids were flinging the records all over the stands. The game had to be
stopped several times to pick up the records that landed on the field |
