Some Jim Jeffries material:

Ticket and raincheck from the Jeffries Barn boxing arena here in Burbank:



An invitation and two tickets [front and back shown] to a 1941 dinner of the California Boxing Commission honoring Jeffries:



Business card of the manager of Jeffries Barn, G.W. Aiton. Interestingly, Aiton was a former MLB player. He played in 10 games for the 1912 St. Louis Browns:



Two newly discovered Jeffries mail reply cards. I'd previously cataloged a card used to respond to mail about his 75th birthday:



Jeffries Barn letterhead signed by Aiton:



And a vintage snapshot of Rocky Marciano at training camp:



PS: I now have one of the Jeffries 75th birthday mail reply cards available for sale or trade. Only the 2nd one I've seen. Minor back damage from scrapbook removal
