New Addition to H815 Adam Hats

[Exhibitman]

I had all of those checklisted except Bossio.

I wish the fighter selection was better. Unlike the Adam Hats endorsers, most of the Slidewell endorsers are duds. I can confirm the existence of an Archie Moore, one advertising the Marciano fight, which pins that Slidewell to 1955. I also was told there is a Marciano but I haven't seen one personally.

Here's Murphy's Slidewell artwork used to create a poster for a fight:



There are also a series of endorsement pieces for Knox Hats depicting members of the New York Yankees but they don't have any graphics, just the hat box prominently featured.

Here's the Bossio. Yeah, seems to be a bunch of "Almost was" guys.

As an aside, I went into a vintage clothing store w/the wife a while back and they had a Slidewell bowtie in original box. No boxing stuff, though [yeah, I asked].

I think you and I are the only people who are into this stuff...

Dave I can confirm the Marciano Slim Jim via this PC I just picked up:



As Marciano is listed as a contender and there is a Moore-Marciano item, I am guessing that the span of the Slidewell issues was at least 1950-1955.

A few Adam's Hats items..

D'oh! That hurts me to the core Leon. I'll see your Gomez and raise you a Gomez and a Gomez matchbook, and a 1957 baseball booklet:

That's cool as hell. Never seen it before either. Do any of the other boxers they used exist in postcard form, that you know of?

I've never seen a PC before this one for the Slidewells. I have seen three of them for Adam Hats, issued from a Montreal mfg:
