Straight from the collection of Pittsburgh-area boxing family Frank and Al Grayber - who fought Harry Greb - come these classic pieces. Includes: five handwritten postcards from Harry Greb's manager Red Mason with boxing and World Series content, three silver plate loving cups for local fights (1920), Al Grayber poster remnant, Don King SP, nice Kessler's Whiskey framed print, big group of old books, photos, vaudevillian Ted Lewis, real photo postcards, Battling Nelson handwriting early ring annuals ('20s-'30s). Best of all is a diary of Johnny Kilbane's 1922 International Tour. Fascinating boxing content, written by Grayber with photos. Also includes a great 1922 20-page letter by British boxer Jack Alexander on Dort Motor Cars stationery.
