Like so many other boxing champs, he was signed to make movies, and he made the 1926 film The Fighting Marine! Tunney had an impressive 65 wins in his 85 fight career, and defeated Jack Dempsey twice: first in 1926, taking the world heavyweight title, and defending it again in 1927 (called "The Long Count Fight"). He passed away in 1978 at the age of 81. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Gene Tunney! Also note that this still has been trimmed and it now measures 7" x 9" [18 x 23 cm]. Finally, note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1980s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items, and over the years he did not re-sell any of the autographed items. Now he has gathered up together all of his autographed items and consigned them to us. So all of the items from this consignor we are auctioning were purchased by this dealer from longtime dealers and collectors, and we feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic! Condition: good to very good. The still has been neatly trimmed but is otherwise in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
