If you're looking to give an area a magnificent vintage atmosphere, look no further than these three framed boxing photos - which did hang in a gym at one time, though we don't know which. These appear to be vintage images, in original frames with glass, dating from roughly the 1940s-50. One is identified as Jack Sharkey, another is "Gene Tunney, Heavyweight Champion of the World," and the third is Jack Dempsey, though he is not identified on his photo. Each measures 20.5x24.75", and to complete the old-style aura, the backing paper on each is comprised of a boxing broadside poster. Generally VG condition, but any nicks or blemishes actually accentuate the gritty boxing gym feel.
