Auction History Result 2b1782 JACK DEMPSEY 8x10.25 still 1927 heavyweight boxing champion in The Fight of the Age! Date Sold 5/10/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Jack Dempsey was the American heavyweight champion boxer from 1919 to 1926, and he made a few movie appearances (and there were also filmed versions of some of his fights). His nickname was "The Manassa Mauler". After his boxing career, Dempsey owned his own restaurant ("The House That Jack Built") on Broadway in New York City in Manhattan (opposite the Madison Square Garden). He passed away in 1983 at the age of 87. Important Added Info: Note that the rematch fight between Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney that was held on 9/22/27 was the fight with the infamous "long count", and it was released as a fight film that same year under the title of "The Fight of the Age", and this still is from publicity for that fight film. Note that this great individual still (and a number of others, both singles and sets) come from a recently discovered collection of mostly 1930s stills (but with some from the 1920s, and some from the 1940s and 1950s) that came from the estate of a longtime journalist who wrote about these movies and visited the sets of many movies and were given these stills at that time. They are all rare original stills from the first release of the movies, and some have cool candid images. We auctioned a similar group of stills from this wonderful collection in our auctions that closed April 12, 2022, and now we are auctioning almost all of the remaining stills from this collection (in singles and sets, just as they were last time). After this set of auctions, there will be only a handful left from this collection, so this is pretty much your last opportunity to acquire these extremely rare stills, including some from movies you almost never see anything from! Condition: good to very good. The left blank border was partially unevenly trimmed off, but only blank white paper is affected. There are some tiny stains, faint smudges, and a few minor creases scattered around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
