Offered are a pair of boxing gloves worn by Heavyweight Champion boxer Jack Dempsey which were obtained directly from the Dempsey estate. Original estate auction listing reads...
"These gloves are circa 1920-30 and are a part of the Jack Dempsey estate. We cannot tell what championship fight these gloves were worn in, they do show considerable wear. They must have been very important to Mr. Dempsey since he saved them along with all his awards, championship belts, trophies, etc. Dempsey's name is penned in ink inside the right glove, made by the Ray Flores Company of San Francisco, size 6. Strings are missing as after each fight the gloves are removed by cutting the tape over the gloves and the strings whihc tie the gloves closed. Excellent condition."
