Jack Johnson-Jim Jeffries Souvenir Ribbons (2)
On July 4, 1910 Jack Johnson successfully defended his heavyweight title against Jim Jeffries, the former champion. Jeffries had retired undefeated champion after his last fight in 1904. Encouraged greatly by a racist public eager to get rid of Jack Johnson, Jeffries agreed to fight Johnson, but age and an almost six year lay-off, coupled with Johnson's great skill and youth proved to be too much. Jeffries was easily defeated in a one sided match. Offered here is are two, very scarce original badge ribbons used at this famous fight. These Souvenir Badge Ribbons are cloth. Slight fraying, but still intact. Color and print remain bold. Slight soiling. Minor separation at right and lower left borders. One slightly trimmed. 1 7/8" x 5 1/2."
