Lot 34: 1933 Primo Carnera Boxing Photographs (30)
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
On July 30, 1933 Primo Carnera and jack Sharkey met in the boxing
ring. This incredible lot of (30) vintage news photographs capture
the bout, in which Carnera took down Sharkey for the World
Heavyweight title, in fantastic detail. Sizes range from 4 x 5.5
to 5 x 6". Incredible condition, mostly EX & NM (with a small number
VG or MT). Some old-school "cut and paste" on a few of these.
Fascinating what was done to get a clear image for the crude print
quality of a newspaper.
