The images of the young filipino boxer vary in size from 4.5 x 6" to 7 x 11.5" and capture this mighty flyweight fighter who many considered to be the greatest "little flyweight whoever lived" The photos date from 1923 and 1925 and there is a photo of his younger brother and trainer, Whitey Eckwert dated 1933. The images vary in quality from VG to EX with only minor wrinkling and very little age spotting, especially for images of this age. Many have a beautiful sepiatone color and do justice to this world champion who died while still in the prime of his life.
