August Pickup thread

[slidekellyslide]

I got these two items at an estate sale this weekend...best part is that I didn't even know that I bought them until I got home...they were in a bag of postcards, paper and photos...I saw a few photos I liked and didn't even search the rest of the bag. The first item is a blank backed card...the second is an invitation to a dance, it is a folder that is postcard sized.

I haven't either...I can't find a similar one on the internet...I'm guessing it's pretty rare since it was for a one time event.

Here are a bunch of movie stills I acquired on Wednesday from the John Rogers archive booth at the National. They had eight boxes of boxing movie stuff, and I went through all of it looking for things like this.

Joe Louis:



Jim Jeffries in One Round Hogan [same photo used to make an exhibit card]:



Jeffries again in some potboiler called "They Never Come Back":



The next several shots are from the Bogart movie "The Harder They Fall."

Max Baer:



Jersey Joe Walcott



Publicity shot of Bogie, Baer and Walcott w/Columbia stamping:

Did you see any photos in the boxing movie stuff with Dan Tobey in them?

This is a common game, as I believe a number of these were part of a find in recent times.
