Back in June & July 1960, my grandfather was completing a training program for his new job with Oakite Products in New York. While there, he had dinner at Jack Dempsey's restaurant and met the former Heavyweight Champion. This postcard was among the photos and ephemera passed down from my grandfather to my Dad and then moved into our place after my Mom moved in with us in March.
The autograph reads, "To Keith lots of luck pal, Jack Dempsey" and was signed 22 July 1960.
The image on the front of the card depicts the championship fight won by Dempsey on 4 July 1919.
