I saw that one on eBay and tried to research it some time ago. Could not figure out who it is. The method, metal litho, is the same used for various prewar pin sets. I'm guessing from the shape that it was part of a framed piece originally. I have seen some metal lithos (not sports) made that way.

I agree that it was once in a wood frame. 1910 +/- 5yes. Either a family member loved their amateur boxer a lot, or he was a known fighter. The hairdo was so popular that it looks like a dozen guys that are all not a match.

At first I thought a young Chico Marx, but then the hair made me think maybe Groucho.
