Jack Johnson and Jess Willard RPPCs
Picked up these early RPPCs of Jack Johnson and Jess Willard. They fought for the Heavyweight title in 1915 in Havana, Cuba, so I believe these were produced around that time by a studio in Panama. Both appear to be signed on the reverse by Jess Willard and there is an interesting reference to Kid Norfolk who was a famous Lt Heavyweight boxer of that era. Is the signature on the front of the Johnson RPPC a possible authentic Johnson autograph?
