Enormous framed Coca-Cola poster measures 28.5x57.5" and features three top-notch boxers. Yellow background is dotted with four large stars, with the first containing the iconic soft drink logo. The first two boxers featured were already champions, with Jimmy Carter reigning as Lightweight Champ and Kid Gavilan as Welterweight title holder. Most interesting is the last star, highlighting "Ex-Olympic Champion" and "Promising Professional Boxer" Floyd Patterson, who went on to become the Heavyweight Champ two times and is now in the Boxing Hall of Fame. Poster has scattered water stains, a crack to the top right corner and repaired damage through the Patterson section. The frame holds everything together nicely, however, and this makes for a great display.
