Two Real photo postcard sized cards of the 1919 Dempsey-Willard “Long Count” fight July 4, 1910 at Toledo, OH. The fight was among the most historic, often referred to as “The Long Count”. The photos, apparently produced by Moser Photo of NY were produced on postcard stock paper and were apparently meant to be postcards. One is stamped “POST CARD” on the rear and they measure about 5” by 3 ½” it shows a view from behind the crowd and the other is a bird’s eye view of the knock out and “long count” entitled "Counting Willard Out". The other has neatly penciled notations pertaining to the event and is entitled "Ringside Willard & Dempsey Championship Bout Toledo, Ohio July 4, 1919". Both are in very nice condition. A fascinating glimpse of history thru the photographers camera, which was how much of history was documented in the early 20th century.
