Where have all theartifacts gone...

 

This section is an on-going compliation of the public reports of the whereabouts of artifacts from famous prize fights. The gloves, the robes, the trunks, the fighter's colours, all the most cherished momentos of the great historic ring battles.

In no way should it be interpreted that by posting an article in this section that I am endorsing the validity of the claims in the various articles. In point of fact, in many cases it has been established through independent research that a published claim was in fact erroneous. By the same token there is no implication intended that any of people depicted in the various articles were or are knowingly misrepresenting the material. I believe the vast majority if not all of these accounts were good faith representations.

Thus, the purpose is not to provide these accounts as conclusive evidence of the disposition of any of the material recounted in the articles, but merely to provide the benefit of a full and open exposure of the available information . In the firm belief that only with informed buyers and sellers can a legitimate stable marketplace exist.

I appreciate and encourage your comments or contributions to the section.

Note: The listings in this section are limited to published acounts of the location of the material exclusive of public sale and/or auction listings or descriptions.
