You're bidding on an early broadside-style wrestling poster - "Two World Champions - Waino Ketonen - Middleweight Champion of the World - Jack Fisher - Champion Lightweight Wrestler Of The World - Here In Person At The". The venue info is blank, so the poster appears to be an unused blank. Poster features a photo of Ketonen and advertises the event as a double bill with a great graphic advert for the film, "The Lost Battalion", an early silent WWI film. Film was released in 1919 so the... poster is probably circa 1920. Ketonen and Fisher fought many times on the same bill and occasionally against each other, so narrowing it down further may be difficult.
Poster is 14 1/4" X 22" and appears to be printed on card stock. Some minor condition issues - mainly some minor spotting and foxing, primarily at the edges. Overall not bad, though, for age and type of item. Professionally shrink-wrapped to heavy cardboard backing. Please review photos carefully to make your own determination of overall condition and appeal, and don't hesitate to ask any questions prior to bidding - thanks for looking!
