Gene Tunney is best remembered for his epic encounters with Jack Dempsey in 1926 and 1927. Tunney won both fights with the same superb boxing skills that defeated the likes of Tommy Gibbons, Tom Heeney and Harry Greb. Offered here is an original plaster fist cast from the right hand of Gene Tunney. Cast by Dr. Walter Jacobs and so marked at the wrist. A few paint chips, otherwise fine. Exceptionally rare.
