Nice Zippo lighter given to Jack Dempsey by a former sparring partner who had served with him in World War. Lighter engraved on one side "FROM JOHN MARTONE SEOUL KOREA 1948 TO CHAMPION JACK DEMPSEY 1919-1926" Back has a peaceful Korean scene. Lighter measures 1 1/2" by 2" and is still in pretty nice condition. Did not put lighter fluid into it to see if it still works.
2" by 10" piece of paper folded in half signed "To Jeff ??? Luck Jack Dempsey" in 7-8/10 black ink.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
LOA from the Newport Sports Museum.
