Not only is Jack Dempsey still considered one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, but he also transcended his ring exploits as a cultural icon of the Roaring (19)'20s (along with one George Herman "Babe" Ruth). Ephemera lot of about 35 pieces focuses on the Manassa Mauler, with highlights including a rare Jack Dempsey Milk Chocolate bar wrapper ("High in Nutritious Food Value," says the label), cocktail napkin and matchbooks from his restaurant, a variety of postcards, and full page 10.5x14" Wheaties advertisement. Overall the items are around VG with some better.
