William Harrison "Jack" Dempsey (June 24, 1895 – May 31, 1983) was an American boxer who held the Heavyweight Championship Belt from 1919 to 1926. Matches he was in were the first to make a one-million and two-million-dollar gate. After his boxing career, he opened Jack Dempsey's Restaurant in New York City in 1934, which became Jack Dempsey's Broadway Restaurant when it moved to Broadway between 49th and 50th Streets. This postcard is an ad for the restaurant, at its second location, which means we can date Dempsey's autograph on it between 1947 when the restaurant moved, and 1974 when it eventually closed.
This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
