Antique British Boxing Print

I obtained this from an estate sale in the Chicago suburbs. The last photo reflects the metal tag, which is engraved "Charles B Pike Collection". My research indicates that Charles Pike and his wife bequeathed $350,000 in 1941 to the Chicago Historical Society.

What do you think I have here and any ideas on value/desireability?

Hmmmm, wonder if it was a "deacquisition" from the Chicago Historical Society.

 

Here's one on live auctioneers that didn't sell with a low estimate of $250.

Apparently there have been re-strikes.

 

Thank you. I saw that. Trying to figure out how to distinguish these.

I guess that I will just keep it in my pile under the stairs.

 

I have a re-strike of an 18th C print, and in my case it's easy to tell the difference because the paper is radically, and intentionally, different. I bet that the paper is a major factor.

 

If we get more info I'm interested in buying. I wouldn't know how to tell though so let's wait for the chime ins lol.

 

for business done here not posted on the SELL forum, i'd suggest PM...private messaging ...

 

Omg so sorry. I didn't mean to break rules!!!!

 

nothing broken....just bent a little....

 

I would be open to following sales protocol once I have a better idea on the print edition. Stay tuned.....

 

I'm late... I have a particular love for anything antique that has to do with boxing. (No, I don't watch boxing or the WWE)

 

Not too late, Josh. Still in the research stages....

 

Did anyone come up with this link?? There's lots out there.....

Thank you. I did not see that. Are you seeing most selling in the $200 range?

 

Saw one for $99. I think and another for $135........this is where I looked:

Clearly, this is not a giclee so I guess my challenge is to distinguish the various editions of the engraving. Thanks for the research
